Every Wednesday of my internship I go to PT Foundation as a volunteer. This is my first experience in the NGO. PTF is an organization devoted to HIV / AIDS issues in Malaysia. Before I go there, I was expecting that is a very large organization, there is a very serious and tense atmosphere. However, when I went there for the first time, I saw that the atmosphere is very warm, all very friendly and kind. Feel that you know them very long. And it also good, that you feel free in asking somebody different questions.
It was very nice to meet interesting and different people there. A lot of volunteers and interns from all over the world work there. Only here you can realize how truly the whole world united against AIDS and HIV.
Regard to my work, my support to this fund. What I did for a few weeks can’t be called direct help in the fight against AIDS. Julian, HR-manager, knowing that I have a background in accounting, said that they are need of some help in the Department of Finance. So, my help was to check all payment vouchers in the folders with the documents, to sort and arrange a lot of accounting files for the next audit.
And I can say I have almost a professional internship in PT Foundation =).
In fact, it's great that in Malaysia such organization is existing and successfully operating. This foundation has a huge contribution to society, in support of HIV-infected AIDS patients. All is not hopeless, while there are people who are interested in this issue and providing assistance.
