A new Beginning

My First Internship 

To start with, let me tell you know to find an internship was not an easy task as it is going to be my first internship.  Most of the companies had said "sorry we don't take interns". Organisations wants people who have already an experience in the fields. My question is, if companies do not give us the chance to do our first internships, how are we going to have experience?

But fortunately, I was called for an interview at Mauritius Wildlife Foundation and I was selected at once.

MWF is the unique non-governmental organisation(NGO) in Mauritius to be completely concerned with the preservation and conservation of endangered spices of Mauritius. It works in collaboration with Ile Aux Aigrettes. It is located at Vacoas, Mauritius.

A new beginning at Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF)

My tasks at MWF

I was hired by the Fund Raising Manager to be his communicator and to do the Public Relations tasks.

The atmosphere is very pleasant and a good place for working.The staff at MWF are friendly and very helpful. At first I was a bit uncomfortable as it is my first work experience. However, with the help and support of my manager and other team members, I got the confident to talk freely and discuss everything regarding my internship and my tasks and other professional and personal things.



MWF is doing the World Wildlife Day event at Ile Aux Aigrettes on Saturday and Sunday, March 7 and 8, 2015. My tasks is to research on activities that can be implemented in the event, research about the target audience, and write a message strategy,promote the event via Facebook pages, design posters and leaflets, draft some media releases and newsletters and prepare speeches.

Having those tasks to do, will give me the opportunity to put my Public Relations skills and techniques into practices.
