This programme pushed me out of my comfort zone and to be friends with people from other countries like the French, Italian and Spanish. It is a REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE and I will never forget this amazing summer!

This programme provided me an opportunity to broaden my horizons. It gave me a great chance to learn about their culture and working style. Also, there was a training which taught us how to plan activities before going overseas. This really gave help to my internship.

I have learnt a lot and tried many things which I would rarely have chance to join, such as water sports and survival swimming. Also, the Korean workplace culture which I experienced can greatly assist with my academic study and career preparation in the future.

It was an excellent experience to live and work in New Zealand. I am happy to experience a totally different living style from Hong Kong in Gisborne. I really enjoyed a laid-back lifestyle and the nature. People in New Zealand are welcoming and nice. The YMCA members are helpful and supportive.
