“Changing Life into Fullness” is how Cansu describes her internship.When we asked Cansu Yumusak few Questions regarding her internship see what she answered.

-Give a heading to your experience in not more than three or four words.Changing Life into Fullness!!

-Describe your experience in Hyderabad regarding you project and stay.First of all thanks for asking our reports, because i have a lot to say!To begin with, I should say that my manager was great. Malisetti Tandav Krishna (Team Leader of Social Initiatives Department of AIESEC In Hyderabad), gave me the project

we decided, sent me the pictures of the place that i will stay, and sent them before i came, so i was prepared to everything. And, he found contacts to me, contacts which works in the very same project with me, so i was, again, prepared for everything. he was careful, interested and helped each and every person who asked help from him. All Interns asked help from my manager, because we all knew that if TK knows, he solves. :) Also, he visited us each and every single day in the flat and asked if we need anything.Secondly, i want to talk about my project. I do not know who said it wasn't even an experience but, for me, it was a lifetime experience. It changed my life entirely. I will definitely come back to Hyderabad even just to see the orphanage i worked with again: Grace Society. They gave me a whole different point of view about life. They teach

me how to be happy with little things. They showed us respect, they loved us, and i want to work with them, lifetime. I want to find some financial support for them from Turkey. I will do my best.

-We generally say AIESEC Internships are life changing experience. Can you comment on this phrase after you have gone through one?Yes,Indeed AIESEC Internship are life changing experience. I totally agree with every single letter in the phrase. I am a different person now. I know what it means for crying because of hunger.
