On May 21, 2026, we marked the successful completion of a one-month internship program by four dedicated interns at Resources Himalaya Foundation.

During a small closing session, the interns shared presentations reflecting on their internship experiences, key learnings, challenges, and personal growth throughout the program. Their enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to learn were truly commendable and contributed positively to our working environment and outreach activities.

We extend our best wishes to all the interns for continued success in their future academic and professional endeavors. May this experience serve as a strong foundation for the opportunities ahead. 🌍📚
