Since I was a child India has been the object of my attention.  Looking back my memories bring a fixed image of Varanasi in my history book and a very young Sinthya reading Gandhi’s biography. So then there was no confusion in my mind about the country to visit to carry out my internship period. 

During the second semester of 2005 I was to do my internship as part of my studies of international relations. Among the four options available in the country, CSR’s profile became a decisive factor and sealed my choice.

The experience was great from the beginning to the end. My main assignment in GTI was a comparative study of women’s situation in Colombia and India , the result: a clear perception of the complex situation of women around the world no matter what the nationality, religion or philosophy of life.  

More than extensive academic and work experience in human rights field, the unique approach to Indian culture made this internship an immensely valuable period.   The day-to-day work time in the office, the interaction with people from other NGOs and international agencies and the field project in Sangam Vihar were very important to make this mission successful.

Now I just wish to say thank you; thousand times thank you to - one and all!

Gracias
