Cape Town was a beautiful experience that has provided me with so many cherished memories I will desperately clinging to. I wanted to intern here because I felt that it would be the perfect place to learn about human rights law and it proved to be more than I had imagined. Cape Town has such a rich history with so many museums, organizations, and other avenues to learn more about it. I learned so much at my internship at the Dullah Omar Institute for constitutional law and human rights. I was also able to volunteer at a community organization which was one of my favorite aspects of this experience. I have fallen so in love with Cape Town, the beautiful nature, the art, and the friends I have met.
