Internship

"My name is Angela Tenney and I spent two months working for ZAB Comolimpa Industria Quimica in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia.  I worked in the laboratory of their main factory, where I ran quality control tests on samples of each product before it was packaged and sold.  Because the company was relatively small, I was able to learn the entire process of production, from making the bottles to loading the delivery trucks, and I also got to see how the different departments of the company worked with each other.  

Without a doubt my favorite part of the experience were the people I met, including my boss who arranged fun trips for me to other factories, his daughters who loved practicing their English with me, and, most importantly, the people I lived with, who welcomed me as a member of their family from the very minute I arrived and took such good care of me that I never felt lonely or homesick for my own family.  

I had an absolutely amazing time in Brazil and have no doubt that I will be returning many times in the future."
