”I feel like being a part of the FRC team has helped me grow as culturally intelligent human being. The staff’s willingness to share parts of both their culture and themselves, to be open and vulnerable, was one of the best internship experiences I have had to date.“

”The FRC has provided me an opportunity to collaborate, learn, and grow in a welcoming environment. The transformative aspect of my time here has been profound. The work being done is a critical piece in the healing of individuals and a nation. I am grateful to have been afforded this experience .“

”I am Helene. I am 24. I come from Belgium and I worked during one month in FRC as ‘Communication Intern’. Joining FRC as an intern gives me the opportunity to work hands on in a professional environment. I gain work experience and I know more about the career path I am pursuing. As an intern in FRC I was not there to get coffee or run errands but I learned so much from the team and I had strong responsibilities in my work. I enjoyed give the best I could during this internship to our common goal! “

”As a psychology intern at FRC I was amazed by the amount of professional and personal development I achieved in a brief 8 weeks. The impact that FRC makes, on an individual and systematic level, on the trauma-effected populations in Sri Lanka is something to behold. The vast number of projects and services that FRC initiates provided many new professional opportunities from proposal writing to clinical supervision. The independence I was given, accompanied by thoughtful supervision, was a wonderful balance that has positively affected my professional direction.“

”As an organization, FRC provides services that are vitally important to both the wellbeing of the people of Sri Lanka as well as the country as a whole. Their holistic approach both provides the best quality of care for those that they serve, as well as created an environment with a wide array of learning opportunities for me and my fellow intern. I have been both personally and professionally impacted by the work that I was able to do and the people that I was able to interact with. The staff here are creating long-lasting, life-altering change in the lives of thousands of people and I feel so fortunate that I was able to learn and work alongside them this summer.“
