Dear Hasina,
That sounds great, thankyou for getting back to me!
Since I'm limited to 2-3 weeks if I visit in January (or March/April), might it be worth postponing to visit for a longer period of eg. 4-6 weeks over July/August? How long a visit would you recommend to make the most of the internship, and is research more/less active at certain times of year?
Kind regards,
From: MALALAHARIVONY HASINA <malalaharivonyhasin@gmail.com>

Dear Amber,
We are pleased that you would like to do an internship at CVB. We have five pillars of research: 1) Biodiversity Research, 2) Climate Change and Restoration Ecology, 3) Ecosystem Genomics, 4) One Health and 5) Community Conservation education. I am attaching our annual report from last year so that you can better understand our activities.
We have a research facility overlooking the rainforest, 130 employees, internet, dormitory beds and a dining hall. The cost of the internship would be about $1000 a month for room, meals and internet. We will develop your internship project together.
If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask me with a copy to Dr Patricia Wright.
We are looking forward to welcome you at CVB,

Hello!
I was previously in contact with Michael regarding volunteering/interning at the centre for a few weeks during January:
I'm a 3rd year undergraduate student studying medicine at the University of Cambridge, taking an intercalated degree in ecology and biological anthropology this year. I'm really interested in the intersection of environmental ecology and public health, and am currently working on a dissertation in the area. The opportunity to get involved with and learn from the integrated approach to conservation and cross-disciplinary research at Centre ValBio would hence be really exciting and valuable.
I couldn't find any information about volunteering openings on your social media, but I'd be really enthusiastic to be a part of any of the outreach areas, though especially public health and epidemiology or field research based projects. I've also been awarded a university grant to support any travel costs/station fees etc. I look forward to hearing back!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Amber
