10

I recently completed a law and advocacy internship with Helping Your Community Forum (Hycf) in Mzuzu, Malawi, and it was an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived at Lilongwe Airport, I was warmly welcomed by David, who hosted me throughout my stay. The drive to Karonga was breathtaking, with stunning scenery that gave me a glimpse into the beauty of Malawi. During my internship, I had the privilege of working at a local law firm in partnership with Hycf, where I was mentored by the professional and knowledgeable lawyer, Christon. He guided me through various topics, and I had the opportunity to attend court sessions with him, gaining hands-on experience in the legal field. The entire team at the law firm was supportive and encouraging, making me feel like part of the family. On weekends, I experienced the rich Malawian culture, exploring Nkhatabay and surrounding areas. The warm hospitality of the people and the beauty of the country left a lasting impression on me. David's hospitality and expertise made my experience truly unforgettable. His passion for the work and his commitment to the community are inspiring, and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him. If you're considering a law and advocacy internship with Hycf in Malawi, I highly recommend it. You'll gain valuable experience in the field, be immersed in the beautiful culture, and make lifelong connections. Thank you, David, Christon, and the entire Hycf team, for an unforgettable experience!
