Ending Remarks

My time at AURA, as short as it was, gave me an interesting overview of the inner

workings of an Organization, and an NGO at that. My superiors provided me with

a plethora of tasks that were never stale. The experiences I had at AURA have

developed me not just as a student but as a human being as well. It is truly

humbling to see firsthand the hard work everyone at AURA puts in, and I feel

honored to have been a small part of it.
