Four Weeks Into Internship

The full name of my internship Change For Kids it is also referred as CFK. The organization is located at the west 29st Manhattan. This company is a Non-Profit and its main goal to help underprivileged children by providing them with a broad range of innovative literacy, arts, and music programs.
Since I only work with only four workers at the office I usually get a variety of different tasks.
Some things I work on the most is getting information about different nonprofit organizations in New York and sometimes other states.
Another thing I spend most of time working on is going through all the documentaries and photos and publishing the best ones in the website and other blogs. The biggest challenge with that is there is the vast amount of documentaries and photos, sometimes that makes it hard to choose which things to be published.
The most memorable moments at my internship is when I look through all the documentaries and see what a tremendous effect Change for Kids makes on lives of unprivileged children.
The only uncomfortable part of my internship is its location, since the site is in Manhattan it takes about an hour for me to get there and 1/2 to get back home, however I am slowly getting used to it and in future I probably wont even notice the traveling time.
I'm currently working 3 times a week because I am taking college now class at Kingsborough College on Thursdays and therefore instead of working for three hours I work an hour more.
My four weeks of internship were different that first two because at first it took me sometime to get use to working environment and understand my tasks. However, now I feel comfortable working in the office and I feel confident talking to my mentor and other co-workers.
