CR Internship Report by Marisa

Is there any solution for a better world? Can we have harmony among people? Based on these questions I started looking for the road I wanted to trail, what I am really fond of in life, what I really want to do: to work for a fairer world.

Some may say that is madness, an utopian idea, but what should we do then? I can not picture myself doing anything different, working meaninglessly caring for no values, no mission, just working for money. For me, real madness is not to have the ideal to serve society and utopia is to think you can be wealthy and happy when there are so many people starving to death, killing and being killed in wars, leading the world to chaos while you plunge into money.

After 5 months I came across a company in India that considers sustainable development the key for a better future and that believes that society should benefit from a company not only because of its good products, but because of its social efforts as well. I knew immediately that was the place I had to go to. That is why I had been in Jaipur for 6 months working for Jaipur Carpets, immersed in the Indian and in the company culture and I can tell you I had learned and experienced wonderful things.

I was happy I would not work for marketing’s sake and for money only, but for the belief I can contribute to people’s development and then to a fairer society.
