INTERNSHIP - MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

Written by: Denver Watts

In my time here I have communicated with the people behind and on scenes of the projects. I have been inspired by many to create fundraisers, documenting & assisting in renovations and setting up social accounts and launching a website. Social media is a platform of shared

stories and events and at Projekt Ubuntu there are so many stories untold, with that said this internship is at the beginning of an exciting time. With so much space available for imagination and the encouragement to increase the online social coverage and expand globally online as it has in our home of Yoga Shala – which accommodates people of all ages from across the world who have taken an active part.

I felt that the time period stay of three months of working at Projekt Ubuntu was vital to learn as much as I could to collect enough information to build the website, this I primarily focused on during my internship. The website was created through a free program and in awareness that this project is not funded by government or charity registered but a social enterprise, which I don’t believe needs to change, as funds raised can go towards more direct areas of need rather than paying for a high profile online image but to give coverage to understand and encourage interest and participation in the projects. The purpose of the website is simply to help give better understanding of the history and highlight the incredible things achieved here through community and the simplicity of others helping others.
