Review for High Atlas Foundation, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I would like to begin by saying I thoroughly believe in HAF and the work it strives to do for numerous communities throughout Morocco! I was an intern for multi-cultural initiatives for 3 months during the summer. My overall experience was quite enriching, and I gained a lot of practical experience, which has continued to help me in my work endeavors. I worked on various administrative tasks, maintained the donor webpage, wrote thank-you letters to donors, wrote blog posts on outings and events, and wrote updates on HAF's multitude of initiatives. I also worked on a fundraising outreach project involving the Jewish and Muslim communities, which not only provided me with a rich historical overview of religion and religious communities in Morocco, but also allowed me to practice my language skills, as well as my coordination skills. I very much enjoyed all of my co-workers at HAF. Everyone was extremely patient and kind, and always was available to help. My only wish was that there was an additional person at the office to help supervise and look over intern projects and tasks, as I often felt everyone at the office was already overloaded with work, which made it difficult to provide as thorough of supervision as I was hoping to receive. However, in a different light, I learned how to work more independently and confidently, and how to take initiative in situations where guidance is somewhat limited. This was an invaluable skill to gain, and one that I still continue to improve. I would love to work with HAF again in the future ! I
