Reflecting on my Internship Experience at Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre:

My name is Annika Bhattacharjee, a student of Master of Social Work at Vidyasagar School Of Social Work, Vidyasagar University. I have started one month internship as an Intern from 17th March and have been on the journey of learning since the day. Since the first day when I first visited the organization on November 2024, I had liked the peaceful and calmness of the place. Firstly I would like to thank all the staff members of the Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre for being so patient and polite with me and helping me whenever I needed. This experience would not have been as smooth as it was without their help.

I learnt how to manage data work on case studies, the case studies helped me understand the difficulties and trauma children face. My experience here has been full of joy, love, support, acceptance and growth. I am grateful for my mentor Gayatri Ma’am who took me under her wings and involved me in field project. I have gained strength and knowledge and have connected with some new people. After experiencing this one month of internship it has made me realise that in future I would love to work with children and help them in their development. I would like to thank Sanjay Sir, Pratyayan Sir for always guiding me whenever I needed and SR. Biviyana Lepcha for giving me the opportunity to work in this esteemed and reputable organization.

Thank You.

Annika Bhattacharjee.
