" At first I didn’t know what to expect, working with Lance at GiPEP New York office has helped me through the process. What an incredible experience working in New York. Thank you again! "

" I have never travelled outside the United States until now. Visiting Accra, Ghana and interning and volunteering with a non-governmental company was an eye opening. While it took a bit to find the organization that suits my needs and finding the right accommodation, I felt at home. The people of Ghana were extremely nice. Thanks to GiPEP, I now found a purpose in life, a passion to work in countries like Ghana to help the world become a better place. "

" OMG! I wished I could vividly share my experience working in London this past summer. First time visiting and I’m blown away. GiPEP was highly professional and very helpful in making all these possible. Working with one of the best companies while in London in my field was like icing on the cake. I recommend GiPEP all the way and hope to explore other cities through your service next summer. "

" When I was given this internship, I assumed that I would be running coffee errands, but instead i was giving the opportunity to take responsibility and doing real work with guidance and supervision from the professionals. I wouldn’t have found this great opportunity without the help of GiPEP. While my internship was suppose to be only 12 weeks, I have now extended it to a six months and loving every bit of it. Merci!!! "

" New York, New York how much I have fallen in love with you. Thank you GiPEP for such an awesome experience. I had the opportunity to intern at a company that I feel my work was valuable, I got the hands on a experience working as a journalist. While I am no longer in New York, I still work for the company I had interned for, now as a contributing writer. Thank you a million times! "

" I didn’t know anyone in the USA. Just like many others, I have had the dream to visit and live in New York. Through research online, I came across GiPEP who helped this dream possible. not only do I now live in New York city after my internship but also with with the emerging tech and fashion company with whom i interned. I am in my second year with the company and I am grateful for this experience that GiPEP and its super staff have offered me. "
