Internship experience

 

Not every classroom has four walls, benches, or a blackboard. Some are under tin roofs and some inside government school buildings where studying is not a schedule but more of a rare thing . My internship with TRY NGO took me into these spaces .the intership started as an assignment soon became a deeply emotional journey of teaching, creating, listening, and understanding lives very different from mine.

MY ROLE

As an intern with TRY NGO, I worked directly with children living in slum areas making them learn basic human anatomy and engaging them with drawing and colors the happiness and the enthusiasm on their faces was beyond the imagination. I conducted teaching sessions with the government school, especially focusing on students of classes 7 and 8, with special attention to the girls.

This internship taught me lessons no book ever could. I learned that teaching is not just about explaining chapters but about building trust. the bond which I created with them in just a few days was unexplainable the aura the passion of learning was just so accurate and appreciable.

THE IMPACT

The impact was not one-sided. While I tried to teach them, they changed me. I saw how a little attention, a few colours, and some clay could bring smiles to tired faces. Girls who barely wanted to get engaged and felt shy on the first interaction day was later found surrounding me and telling their funny stories.

CONCLUSION

My internship with TRY NGO was not just a professional experience — it was a personal transformation. It reminded me that education is not about privilege, but about possibility. I didn’t just teach children; I discovered many life choices and the sensitive section of our society. This journey will always remain a part of who I am and how I choose to see the world.
