Hi Devan,<br><br>Thanks for your message and interest in OLPC internships. To answer your questions:<br><br>1. Apply with the English application. In the interview, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your French language skills.<br>
2. Yes - as long as the first 3 months of an internship go well, internships can be extended.<br>3. We assess applicants on a rolling basis. You will be informed of your status 2 months after you apply.<br>4. We're somewhat flexible with intern start dates. We'll work with accepted applicants to schedule start dates.<br>

To whom it may concern,<br><br>I am an eager applicant for the 2010 country support internship, and had a few questions about the application procedure. I am a French major graduating from UC Berkeley, and am interested in applying in Rwanda so I can utilize my French-speaking skills. However, I am unsure whether or not I should apply with an English application (since I am a native speaker) or the French application. The same question applies for the interview as well. <br>
<br>I am also curious if I apply to intern for three months if it is possible to extend it to six months later? <br><br>Lastly, I would be interested to know what the timeline is for this application process if that is possible. Generally when do you start to accept applicants, and when do applicants start?<br>
<br>Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you,<br>Devan Gregori<br>_______________________________________________<br>
