1062 Natalie BrownThe CIDA internship program provided me with an invaluable opportunity to gain experience in the field of Information and Communications for Development (ICT4D.) If the Government of Canada wishes for Canadians to be able to actively participate in global debates and initiatives over the future of international cooperation and development, cancellation of the only program which arms young Canadians with on-the-job skills and networking opportunities in development would be an extremely shortsighted move, ultimately proving far more costly in terms of lost human capital than current and future IYIP program expenditures.
1063 Laura PrazeresCurrent intern in Brazil (2008-09) working as an Environmental Education and Leadership Development officer. This is an invaluable learning experience that allows young adults to enlarge their understanding of the world, contribute to worthy causes and organizations, encourage and promote development, and enrich their lives and future goals through a meaningful experience that can only have benefits for every party involved. Please continue funding and support for this unique program.

1072 Satya RamenThis program is critical to our ability to support our southern partners. It is of tremendous value to the intern, who is growing and learning, but also to the community. This is one of the ways that we can meet our MDGs and also support our international partners.

1099 AnonymousIt has been three years that I am waiting to gratuate in 2009 to finally be able to apply to the CIDA internship programme. The CIDA Internship is a unique programme enabling young Canadians to develop their careers internationally in the non-profit sector. Please continue encouraging the next generation to make the world a better place.
