Working for Kahawatu foundation has taught me to work in different departments, as it is already a very small.When I took up my internship, I wondered how this would line up with my current concentration at Babson.I am currently doing Accounting and I soon realized that the accounting and finance department was very small and that there was not much to learn.As one of my strengths is to be a learner, I decided that it was time for me to look into other positions within the foundation.As my supervisor said, it is important to work hard within a company and make yourself indispensable.I had heard that Monitoring and Evaluation is such an important part of any project as it allows you to measure the impact of your work.I decided to use my time wisely to shadow the person in charge of this task within the foundation.I learned so much that I did not know, such as the different software that facilitate his job.One never knows when they will find themselves working in a small company where you have to do everything to get things done.Keeping an open mind to learning new things is what will help you in such a situation and it will make you stand out among everyone else as a good team member.
