As part of my studies in social work (University of Mannheim), I completed my practical semester from the end of January to June 2017 at the “Happy Watoto Home Ngorika”. The internship semester gave me the unique opportunity to gain practical experience for my studies and, at the same time, get to know a new country with a completely different culture and way of life. My time in Tanzania was very exciting and thrilling. I am very grateful that I was able to gain so many instructive experiences. I especially enjoyed the activities with the children. The infectious laughter of the children showed me how happy and content one can be with few resources.
