The transformative experiences of our hosted students. Their testimonials reflect the enriching and supportive environment that awaits those who join our programs.
In the beginning of the year, we initiated the Agrimulimi project in Uganda, starting with a blank canvas. Collaborating with the local team, we developed a strategy for practical testing of our fresh tomato solution, leading to satisfying results. The hospitality at Einstein Rising and throughout Uganda exceeded our expectations. Despite initial concerns about communication, everything went smoothly. Our stay at STEPP Residences, particularly with Pius, was also enjoyable.
The team's welcoming and supportive nature during the internship has been remarkable. Despite their heavy workload, they are caring and attentive. The primary tasks involved quantifying losses in the tomato value chain and devising solutions for issues across various phases of the cold chain. Our major contributions included experimental setups, practical testing, and seeking solutions for market information gathering. We hope our efforts will be implemented in the future.
Assigned to create a logistics plan for transporting produce from field to market, we explored cold truck options and field practices. Facing a truck issue, we united like a family, pushing it together. This project has influenced my life goals, steering me towards humanitarian work, cross-cultural experiences, and extensive travel. The supportive atmosphere at STEPP and Einstein Rising made it feel like home, providing security and privacy. I am grateful and would highly recommend such cross-cultural experiences—it opens doors and enlightens in unexpected ways. Just take the leap and do it!
The team in Uganda provided exceptional support, guiding us in unfamiliar areas and enhancing our understanding of the local market. The inspiring and collaborative learning environment, coupled with strong work ethic, created a friendly and hospitable atmosphere. I highly recommend this internship as it not only fostered personal growth but also provided valuable insights into work life. Collaborating with individuals from diverse fields increased my understanding, motivation, and experience in the working field. It's a rewarding opportunity for anyone seeking professional and personal development.
