Internship experience in Russia
by Nushrat Zareen Ahmed
Excitement, nervousness and with full of hope I
took two months traineeship program through
AIESEC in Samara, one the largest cities of
Russia. I worked in Birozki Camp, one of the most
reputed summer camps of Samara, where I was
assigned to teach Russian children some spoken
English. I spent my time with children in the
playground where we communicated with each
other, played various games, swam in the lake and
ate lots of Russian traditional foods. AIESECers of
Samara were simply awesome. They were helpful,
protective and always made sure that I had
maximum enjoyment during my stay. It was a
memorable traineeship that I will cherish all my life.

EXPERIENCE
IC 2009 - A life changing experience
by Nazia Sultana
This year the International Congress (IC) was
hosted in The Palace of the Golden Horses,
Kualalumpur, Malysia. 800 delegates from 110
countries, with 200 alumni and over 20 companies
and organizations took part as externals. Another
1500 people from all over the world took part in the
IC live, an online platform which broadcasted live
sessions. The objectives of the sessions were to
make today's youth aware of the current issues of
the world and how can we have our impact to make
a positive change in our surroundings.

really makes it amazing", says Nadira
Haque, a new talent of AIESEC IUB. The
Team's Day was chaired by Sarah Kamal
(President 2008-9) and was facilitated by the
Executive Body team. The applicants went
through an interview to be further evaluated.
And the experiences these freshers are
having is amazing. Shafquat Halim says "I
realized the impact that AIESEC makes on
the society". Esfar Hossain said "AIESEC
enabled me to prove myself as a better
individual and the experience has motivated
me profoundly to overcome my fears and
step up audaciously in everything I do".
One of the highlights of this year's IC was the Global
Youth 2 Business Forum. These were small
workshops taken by various companies notably
DHL, PwC, Artemesia, Cadbury, Electrolux,
ABInbev, Standard Chartered Bank, Alcatel Lucent,
Canon, Dell, Unilever, and Tata Consultancy
Services. They spoke about Labor mobility and
diversity, Climate change and Sustainability and
Entrepreneurship. I had the privilege to meet
topnotch global leaders who are working to create a
positive impact in their surroundings like PwC, DHL
and Cadbury's projects in Africa, Cannon's projects
in Asia and most importantly Artemesia's social
entrepreneurship projects all around the world.
My life changing part from this conference was
being able to share my thoughts and ideas with
youth from over 110 countries. All of us came from
different cultures, backgrounds and it was
experiencing diversity at its best. Getting to know
the realities of a lot of African Countries and their
passion to create a positive change made me
realize that I have a role to play in my country. I will
cherish this experience and knowledge for the rest
of my life.
