Reflecting on my 1 month Internship experience at Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre

My name is Linda Das, a student of Vidyasagar School Of Social Work, Vidyasagar University. I started working as an Intern on 17th March 2025 and have been on a learning experience since. Being a student of Loreto Sealdah myself, it felt like returning home, carrying all the values and morals learned and channeling those values for the good of the society. I would like to thank all the staffs and members of the Kolkata Mary Ward Social Center for being so patient and polite with me, it is because of their support and encouragement that this month long journey had been full of memories and growth.

To speak of my experience here, it has been a joy and a growth filled journey, gaining experience and knowledge while working on field visits. I would like to thank Mrs. Gayatri Roy for being so patient and polite with me and taking me under her wings and engaging me with her associated projects, starting from explaining, to demonstrating to actually participating in the projects through, visiting the sites, it has made me realize of the opportunities and resources that are deprived from the people and especially children. I have worked and learned on data management and case studies of children in need. My experience here has been full of joy, love, support, acceptance and growth. Working through different projects I have gained strength and knowledge and have connected with strangers who have now become some of the people I care for. Also special thanks to Mr. Sanjay Baxla for always being there to guide me and clearing out any problems without hesitation and SR. Biviyana Lepcha for giving me the opportunity to be part of the renowned and esteemed institution.

Thank You,

Linda Das.
