Dear ___________________,

 

We are pleased to have you as an intern with Operation ASHA. Terms of internship will be as set forth below.

 

1. No Stipend:


Operation ASHA cannot cover intern’s expenses (i.e. airfare, housing, transport, health insurance) for joining the NGO. Intern should arrange these prior to arrival.

 

2. Entitlement for commuting/ traveling for NGO work:


Intern’s entitlement for work related travel is the same as that of Assistant Program Manager at Operation ASHA.

 

3. Masks:


Operation ASHA has hosted many interns and visitors in the past from abroad. All our employees/ volunteers/ interns take precautions to prevent infection from TB like staying in ventilated/ open areas while talking to patients, moving away when a patient sneezes, etc. The WHO sponsored DOTS program does not require workers to wear masks in India. You may like to visit the WHO website for further details. Furthermore, masks reinforce the feeling of social stigma that patients often face. Therefore, Operation ASHA does not permit anyone to wear a mask. If need be, talk to a specialist in infectious diseases in your city. Operation ASHA is not liable for any medical/ medico-legal responsibility.

 

4. Confidentiality:


Intern should maintain confidentiality about information learnt during the course of internship and should not communicate anything without the written permission of Operation ASHA.

 

5. Research and Academic Studies:


In case the Intern is working on a research paper that contains facts or analyses with which Operation ASHA does not agree, Operation ASHA is entitled to insert a comment into the contested section, which may be attributed to Operation ASHA. This comment will form a part of the main text (and not as a footnote or a reference) of the publication. This is not to limit academic freedom but merely to provide a clear picture to the reader.

 

I understand and agree to abide by the conditions stated above.
