In order to secure your place in the program, please reply to this email saying you accept. We hope that you accept our offer to join the MEDLIFE team and become part of an outstanding group of student leaders who have taken their leadership within our young organization to the next level. To plan effectively for your internship, we require a response by Monday, March 31. If we do not hear from you within this time period, we will assume you have made other plans and we will remove you from our acceptance list and place you on the waiting list. 

Again, congratulations on your acceptance to our program. We look forward to having you become part of the team.

I am very excited to have been accepted on the MEDLIFE summer internship working with the charity in Lima Peru. I will be working as part of the media and communications team, with a fellow intern from the UK. Together we will document the work of the charity through photos, videos, articles and updating their social media.

I am spending a total of 3 months in Lima, where I will spend 70% of my time in the office planning projects and productions. The other 30% will be spent out in the rural villages in and around Ecuador and Peru, documenting the charities work as they build staircases, wells and set up pop up medical centres. At the medical centres the locals can receive free treatments, jabs and educational classes on safe sex and other diseases.
