«Working with ITU has been a very enriching experience. There is an exceptional group of people working with this organization that makes coming to the office every day that more enjoyable. I was able to take the advantages of working with people outside my culture and have the pleasure to meet fellow internship. My position provided me with outstanding training in both professional and personal aspects, and the opportunity to exchange points of view, experiences and thoughts with people around the world. I am glad that there are organizations in the world such as ITU that can make programs like this work.» Luis-Javier ARITA RAMOS Honduran nationality - born 21 of May 1982, Studied at Center American Technological University (UNITEC)
