Short bio
bon dia! my name is Sara and I did an internship with The Power of Sports in Curaçao! I’m studying to become a personal support worker in social care, and I’m now in my final year! so teaching was a big challenge for me and something completely new, but despite that it was a really great choice, and I was able to complete my internship here successfully! it also taught me a lot about teaching, including teaching vulnerable groups. I love a challenge and threw myself into this project with loads of enthusiasm, and 14 little weeks fly by just like that(;
How satisfied were you with the support from Holland?
the support was brilliant! before my trip I was put in touch with Ruben, and Ruben helped me so much. I could talk through all my questions and the important things I needed to sort out with him. from the very start until I left we were in touch and on the phone a lot, so you feel completely ready and can start this adventure with peace of mind:))
My story
“met so many lovely people, made the best friends and really enjoyed the people and the culture in Curaçao!”
Sara · internship in Curaçao
on 21 March I travelled to Curaçao on my own, a huge step but a truly amazing adventure! 14 wonderful weeks were waiting for me there. once I arrived in Curaçao the time flew by! I met so many lovely people, made the best friends and really enjoyed the people and the culture in Curaçao! the internship was also really educational, every day was different, the days were filled with different projects, but there was also plenty of time for fun things!! heading to the beach, having a drink with your housemates or simply exploring the island (in a written-off car you got from the rental company.. do watch out for that) in short, a wonderful time with really lovely people, fun lessons with the local children and above all a huge learning experience you’ll never forget!
What advice would you give to those who come after you?
my advice: if you’re not sure whether you want to go on your own, do it!! you get to know new people so quickly and you open up so much that the best friendships come out of it!
