Hi, my name is Amy Nguyen and I am writing to ask for your support for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intern abroad in the beginning of June! I recently accepted an eight week internship in Madrid, Spain through The Intern Group. This program provides an internship placement in my field, accommodations, profession training workshops, social and cultural events, and 24/7 support from local staff.

I will be graduating in May 2017 with my Mechanical Engineering degree and this international internship would be a great way to complement my education and help me obtain a job in my career field. An internship in mechanical engineering will allow me to utilize my education to solve challenging problems and implement new ideas while working with professionals in my field to help me gain valuable work experience and skills. Interning in a foreign country is a great way to experience a new culture and language which can help me develop a global mindset when pursuing my career. This journey is a great opportunity for professional and personal growth with the benefits of getting to travel internationally.

This internship opportunity will cost about $7,000 which covers the program fee, accommodations, airfare, transportation, and meals. Being a recent college graduate, this internship will be a large financial investment, however the experience and knowledge that I will gain will worth so much more. Any donation big or small and sharing my story will help me fund this adventure. I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my page and for your generosity!
