AIESEC Chandigarh- Have you lost your mind BABY?

After having several complications with my internship (which is a complete other blog entry in itself) I came up with a solution of moving to another intern house. This was pre-organized a couple of weeks earlier and I was all set to move into the house on the 20th of this month BUT in typical AIESEC Chandigarh style I was told that I cannot move into that house because an intern with 2 babies (repeat 2 BABIES) was taking my room.

This was not a shock to me as a few days ago the interns received a text message saying "AIESEC Chandigarh is the first LC in the whole world to have an intern that has even brought her children. Not 1 baby but two!" There is probably a reason for why no other LC has done it before. Because it is completely ridiculous! For starters an internship is a development traineeship for 1 person, NOT an entire family. And what is even more outrageous is that they did not even ask the other interns who would be living with this family if is it alright with them!?!

AIESEC cannot even accommodate the very few interns they have here at the moment so now they decide they want to bring BABIES into the equation. As previously mentioned we often go without gas, without water, living in unhygienic accommodation because AIESEC refuses to help maintain the intern houses. How is a child going to survive in these unsanitary conditions? How could they actually allow this match to occur? It is one thing to ruin our lives with their lies and empty promises but to now try to ruin the lives of 2 innocent children is just UNBELIEVABLE!

Once again thanks AIESEC Chandigarh for supporting my quantity over quality argument. We know that you don't care about the quality of our internship but now trying to get your numbers up by bringing families are just sick!!! What is even more outrageous is what would happen when the mother is at work? The interns would all be at home from their broken internships and would have new roles as babysitters. Anyone you is contemplating signing up for an internship with AIESEC Chandigarh I hope you know how to babysit!
