Dibika
“During the Traineeship many things have changed. I was an introvert in the beginning but now I can speak with a lot of new people and I do not find it difficult. And also I’m aware about different things like problems in the society and how I can help others. I’ve also learned about hygiene, environment and my English language has improved.”
