"After my three months at CADAL as an international intern, I only have words of gratitude for how professionally they received me. CADAL is an outstanding organisation: each and every one of its members displays considerable efforts towards the spreading of democratic values and the respect of human rights, thus contributing to a solid, caring and welfare oriented community. This purpose strengthens the very positive work environment they create, which allows the developing of professional and interpersonal relationships, paramount for an international intern. I thank CADAL for giving me the opportunity of working with them, and for the superb work they do every day"-

"I will cherish my experience as an international intern at CADAL as a very interesting and rewarding one. Sadly, COVID-19 cut short my stay in Buenos Aires to just one month, instead of the three months it was set out to last, and I want to thank them even more for letting me finish the internship remotely. Despite the distance, the team’s support was very important to me, they made me feel as one of them and helped me do my job correctly. If I entered the world of International Relations was because of my interest in the ideals of cooperation and cohesion within States, societies and cultures. CADAL gave me the chance of a first hand on-the-ground experience to further develop those".

"Doing an internship at CADAL was a great experience both at a professional and personal level. I was able to develop my interests through the writing of several articles on topics that were of my interest, with the total support of the team, always willing to help and improve the work I was doing. In addition, I was able to attend events and learn about the work that CADAL carries out, the interest in bringing realities from all over Latin America to the Southern Cone and to research, analyze and promote democratic liberties and human rights in the continent. For someone who is passionate about Latin America like myself, it has been a great pleasure to be able to contribute a drop in the ocean to this family that is CADAL. I always thank you for your trust and openness to let me become one of you during my internship".

"My internship at CADAL was a formative experience. While I started with some uncertainty, by the end of the internship I left with renewed confidence in continuing a career in international relations. Something I appreciate is the independence granted to each intern and the opportunity to pursue my own projects with the support of all of us at CADAL. A variety of lectures, experiences and research also exposed me to the important work that CADAL does every day. Above all, the opportunity to meet activists from all over teh world, dedicated to the world of human rights presented a challenge that I now carry with me. That challenge is to look beyond the borders of my own country, develop an international perspective and build the links that can address the problems that touch everyone”.

"Doing an internship at CADAL was a very enriching experience at all levels. During those two months I learned a lot about the human rights situation in several parts of the world, collaborating with the writing of different articles and reports. I also participated in the organization of the conferences held during this period, which allowed me to meet very interesting people committed to the defense of human rights and, at the same time, learn about Argentina, its history, culture and politics. On the other hand, CADAL's team offered me a real human experience and I was always treated as a member of the organization. I thank all CADAL's team and wish them good luck for the future. I hope we will see each other again soon".

"The opportunity that CADAL offered me, being a foreign intern, was an enriching experience, since it strengthened my democratic values, freedom and human rights sense. I was able to establish relationships with other cultures and broadened my knowledge thanks to the participation in several activities carried out within the organization. I thank Mr. Gabriel Salvia and Hernán Alberro for their attention, teachings and lived experiences, and I invite others interested parties coming from any country, to be encouraged to be part of CADAL's family".

"I would like to thank CADAL for taking me in during 4 months and offering me my first professional experience in a very stimulating multicultural environment. CADAL initiated me in a concrete way to the operation of an NGO and I was lucky enough to attend events, such as conferences and seminars, always attractive and relevant. But, most of all, it allowed me to meet personalities committed to the defense of human rights, with great and very inspiring personal trajectories".

"I want to thank CADAL's team for the three months I spent in the office as an intern. It was a great opportunity and a very positive experience that allowed me, on the one hand, to learn more about the history of Argentina, its institutions, the challenges posed since the return to democracy and, on the other hand, the Cuban case. I was also in contact with journalists, diplomats and university professors during the events organized at the headquarters. Many thanks to Hernán and Gabriel for their trust and kindness. It was a pleasure to collaborate with you!”

"I could not have had a better experience as an international intern at CADAL. The projects I carried out not only allowed me to deepen my knowledge of human rights, but also to broaden this knowledge, since I had the opportunity to study the situation of these issues in different regions of the world. Besides, something I appreciated very much was that I had a high level of autonomy in the elaboration of my tasks without ever feeling a lack of support from CADAL's team. It was this support that impressed me the most from my internship. From the first day I felt integrated to the team, participating in all the activities of the organization, feeling free to talk about its functioning and forming sincere professional and personal relationships".
