I had the privilege of undertaking a two-week internship at Nila Foundation, under the mentorship of Saleena Mam. This enriching program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various facets of social work.Throughout my internship, I had the opportunity to visit esteemed social welfare institutions such as Thanal Milestone Thiruvallam, Karunalayam Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre, Destitute TB Rehabilitation Centre Pulayanarkotta, and Karunalayam Centre for Autistic Children etc....We facilitated numerous group activities, engaging the residents of diverse institutions, thereby brightening countless faces throughout the duration of our internship. Each day presented fresh experiences, leaving an indelible mark on our memories.A particularly fulfilling experience was organizing a camp for parents of differently-abled children at Thanal, representing Nila Foundation. Engaging with "human books" further expanded my knowledge and fostered invaluable connections and collaborations.Nila Foundation served as a platform for self-reflection, enabling me to identify and enhance my strengths, weaknesses, and skills.Collaborating with fellow interns, we cultivated a strong team spirit, ensuring a productive and enjoyable experience. I am confident that choosing Nila Foundation for my second-semester internship was the right decision, as it enabled me to fulfill all my academic objectives.I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Nila Foundation and Saleena Mam for providing me with invaluable opportunities and resources, shaping me into a more competent and compassionate individual.
