Before you leave, make sure to do the following things:

  • Fill out a final progress report on your goals
  • Write a post for Tandana's blog.  The post should not try to summarize your entire experience, but rather choose one moment, event, or aspect of your experience that you would like to share.  Email the post to the EPM and to susan@tandanafoundation.org.  If possible, provide a few photos to go with it.
  • Write a report on your placement to help future interns in that role (ask the EPM if you think this is not necessary for your particular placement). The report should give details, logistical information, and helpful tips for a future intern working in your placement.  It should not be an evaluation.
  • Have an evaluation meeting with the EPM, in which you share your feedback on your placement and your experience with Tandana.  This is the time to be frank.
  • Buy a gift for your host family. Consult the EPM for your budget.
  • Spend time with your host family. This will be a sad time for them, too, so they will want to spend time with you before you leave.
