WHO INSPIRES US

Kareem's Internship Adventure at Chumbaka

"I’ve found teaching students to be very fulfilling, especially in more rural schools that wouldn’t have the opportunity to receive engineering education otherwise."

Hello! I’m Kareem Jaber, and I am a student at Princeton University studying mathematics. Outside of my studies, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and playing the piano. Through my school’s International Internship Program (IIP), I have had the opportunity to participate in an internship abroad over my summer break . . .

If you're also interested in an internship experience with us, please email your resume and coverletter to enquiry@chumbaka.asia!
