    • One thought on “CAN’s Achievements”

    1. Hi,
      I recently sent an email about an internship enquiry to info@hongkongcan.org but I’m not sure if the email was received.

      I am very interested in applying for the internship program but I was wondering if the program is offered during the summer. I noticed the minimum work period is 1 month, is it possible for the work period to be shortened to a few weeks? Also, would I attend on a daily basis full time (say 8am-5pm?)?

      Please reply as soon as possible,
      Kelly

      P.S: I am 16 years old, and attend Island School (secondary school). I would like to understand more about environmental issues, especially air quality.
