Participating in the DOWA internship program was an invaluable experience that not only allowed me to delve into the realm of remote work environments but also provided a unique opportunity to immerse myself in the dynamic and ever-evolving tech and media industry. 

One of the most profound takeaways from my time in the program was the ability to navigate the intricacies of maintaining professionalism while working from the comfort of my own home. I learned how to strike that delicate balance, ensuring that my work remained of the highest quality while also fostering a conducive and healthy work environment.

Additionally, I improved my ability to juggle tasks and decide which tasks are the most important and need to be done first. In the tech and media industry, there's often a lot to do and tight deadlines to meet. Learning how to organize my work and focus on the most critical tasks helped me become more productive and efficient. This also allowed me to take on more responsibilities and contribute more to the team's success. I also learned the significance of regular check-ins and communication with team members to ensure our collective efforts remained on track. 

DOWA's internship placement played a pivotal role in my personal and professional development, fostering both my growth as an individual and my capacity to contribute meaningful ideas to the professional landscape. This transformative experience has significantly bolstered my self-assurance and readiness to excel in my forthcoming career endeavors.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my internship was the chance to actively contribute to meaningful projects. In particular, I had the privilege of playing a role in the enhancement of a system designed for more efficient plastics handling in Africa. This opportunity allowed me to engage in impactful work that extended beyond the confines of the internship itself. Collaborating with a team of dedicated individuals, I witnessed firsthand the potential positive change that can emerge from innovation and a commitment to addressing real-world challenges.

My internship at DOWA was an invaluable experience that provided me with profound insights into the inner workings of a company. During my time there, I not only felt like a valued member of the team but also undertook tasks that played a pivotal role in the company's operations.

First and foremost, my presentation skills saw a remarkable improvement as I had the opportunity to my communicate ideas effectively to both my teammates and colleagues through a weekly presentation.

I also gained a comprehensive understanding of how a company functions from the ground up. I had a firsthand look at how businesses identify potential clients, assess their needs, and strategically offer their services. This insight into the mechanics of acquiring new business was incredibly eye-opening and has equipped me with practical knowledge for the future.

I feel grateful for the unique opportunity to contribute to the growth and scalability of an African company, which, in turn, is contributing to the overall development of Africa.

My internship with Gebeya Inc through DOWA has been an eye-opening experience that has expanded my knowledge in the professional world and helped me clarify my career goals for the future. It has also allowed me to develop important skills I wanted to work on before starting my academic year.

I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a professional work environment. This experience has given me a clear picture of what it's like to work in the real world and has been valuable in shaping my career aspirations.

One of the highlights of my DOWA experience was the chance to interact with like-minded individuals who share a passion for addressing issues in Africa. We discussed various challenges facing the continent and brainstormed solutions. It was both productive and engaging.

I totally recommend the DOWA program to anyone who wants to gain valuable experience and learn more about important issues.
