HELP MAKE MY SOCIAL WORK INTERNSHIP IN EDINBURGH POSSIBLE!

Hi there!

I am embarking on an incredible journey this fall to complete my Master's Level Social Work Internship with FSU's International Program in none other than Edinburgh, Scotland!!! I will be interning with a non-profit organization called Multi-Cultural Family Base.

"Here at MCFB in Edinburgh, we work with children and their families who are experiencing difficulties. Some of these are practical, such as housing or financial problems; others are more personal, such as dealing with discrimination or emotional issues. We work in a therapeutic way and offer time and support to help people make sense of the difficulties in their lives and work out how to deal with them. Being flexible and tailoring our support to the needs of the individual or family are key factors. We work with children and parents by themselves, together as a family, and with children in groups.

Many of our families are from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities and are often new migrants. We do all of the above through specific projects that work with different ages and types of issues."

This internship is a stepping stone toward my lifelong goal of working in international social work. I aim to build a social work career helping impoverished communities by providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief. I can't do this alone--I need your support to make it happen!

Friends, family, and new friends, please consider donating to help me reach my goal. Every contribution, big or small, brings me one step closer to making a real impact!

Thank you to all the people who have supported me in my life, especially my parents, siblings, aunties, lifelong friends, and mentors! Without you all, I would not have made it to this point in my life in going after something I have always dreamed of doing one day. Now is finally my chance to go after my dreams of changing lives with the power of social work in the international community!

Your support means the world!

I'd love to send you a thank you note via email or mail if you want to send me your contact info. via Facebook messenger @Natalie States!

With much love and gratitude!
