Hi everyone! I\u2019m Hiba Shariq, a student at Beaconhouse Jauhar Campus who, thanks to the encouragement of my career counselor, Sir Sanaullah, got the incredible opportunity to be part of WWF\u2019s Summer Eco Internship Program. Over the course of these weeks I learned, networked, and contributed to sustainability. Here’s how it went!
\nLearning the Basics: Awareness & Leadership<\/em>
\nThe internship kicked off with eye-opening videos on major environmental issues and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). What followed was an exciting ice-breaker-12 leaders stepped up to form groups.
\nWatching interns from different backgrounds come together for one cause-saving the planet-was truly inspiring.
\nGuest Speakers & Expanding Perspectives<\/em>
\nWe had incredible speakers, like those from PCF, who showed how every field can contribute to sustainability\u2014not just environmental science! Another highlight was Angel Imdad, CEO of Irverde and a trailblazing woman in eco entrepreneurship. She shared her journey of starting a waste management company in a competitive industry and from pitching her idea with confidence to believing in her vision when few did, it left us all motivated.
\nCritical Thinking & Networking<\/em>
\nOne challenge stuck with me-tackling a real world case study: Pakistan\u2019s high apricot production wasted due to unsustainable practices. Brainstorming eco-friendly solutions with my team pushed my critical thinking. We also
\nlearned the art of networking from the Artistic Milliners HR team and through fun role-plays, they taught us how to sell ourselves confidently.
\nCommunity Impact: Our Recycling Project<\/em>
\nAfter days of immersive learning it was time to execute our community project! Co leading my team I organized an awareness session at BSS Gulshan campus, in alignment with the WWF SGDs. It was centered on sustainability themes like plantation and recycling and featured interactive discussions on environmental
\nstewardship, engaging educational videos, hands-on upcycling activities and a competitive quiz to reinforce key concepts. The best part? Giving away eco-friendly goodies like plants and tote bags. Witnessing the participants\u2019 enthusiasm and genuine interest was incredibly rewarding.
\nFinal Thoughts
\nThis internship was more than just learning-it was an opportunity to drive real change. From leadership to entrepreneurship, every session reinforced that sustainability needs all hands on deck. Huge thanks to WWF and Beaconhouse, I\u2019m walking away not only with greater awareness but also with deeper connections and an unwavering commitment to creating a sustainable impact!
\nTake the Leap-Your Future Starts Here <\/em><\/p>\n

If <\/em>you’re considering an internship, go for it! This isn\u2019t just a professional opportunity, it\u2019s a transformative experience. You\u2019ll gain hands-on skills, build meaningful connections, and contribute to real impact. And when the time comes to leave, you won\u2019t just walk away with a certificate\u2014you\u2019ll carry unforgettable memories, newfound confidence, and a broader perspective that will shape your future. The only regret you\u2019ll have is not applying sooner.
\nAs William James once said, \u201cAct as if what you do makes a difference. It does.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
