Hi Eric,<br><br>Thanks for your message. Interns will live in either a dormitory, apartment, or homestay, depending on where their project takes them. We can't say exactly what type of projects Interns will undertake (see my previous e-mail in response to Madalina today). If you apply to Nicaragua, Peru, or Uruguay, you will certainly use Spanish on a regular basis. You can expect to engage in capacity building projects. If you have a particular talent or passion, you can also expect that we'll try to engage this. Your daily life will consist of interacting with local school children, teachers, parents, or government officials, depending on your project. <br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">I'm looking into summer internships right now. I have been looking into humanitarian opportunities, especially ones in spanish-speaking countries and even opportunities to use my computer/technology skills. I've looked through the One Laptop per Child website, but I am now interested in more of the technicalities. Some kind of general overview would be great. I'd like something that could answer: Where do interns live (homestay, apartment,...)? What kind of jobs are available for college students, maybe ones that focus on spanish speaking and computer science (humanitarian work?)? Maybe there is more general information about daily life with the internship? Thank you so much for you time and informing me on this great internship opportunity!<br>
