SCA Celebrates Two Interns After Successful Two-Month Internship

On Friday, 12th June 2026, Safe-Child Advocacy warmly celebrated two interns, at a send-off ceremony held at our Drop-in Centre, after they successfully completed a two-month intensive internship with the organization.

The interns were Mr. Kwabena Offei, a final-year Development Studies student at Friedensau Adventist University in Germany, and Ms. Florence Abaka Acquaah, a student at Yerevan State University pursuing a Master of Arts in Human Rights and Democratization.

The ceremony marked not only the end of their internship, but also a moment to recognize their commitment, growth, and contribution to SCA’s work with children, youth, women, and families in vulnerable situations.

During the internship period, the interns participated in activities undertaken by the field unit. These included street-corner education, value talk sessions, beneficiary follow-ups, school and media awareness campaigns, webinars, and other regular programmes aimed at supporting persons in vulnerable situations.

As part of the ceremony, the interns expressed their appreciation to the management and staff of Safe-Child Advocacy for providing them with the opportunity to acquire practical experience in the organization’s programmes and field activities.

Mr. Offei stated, “my internship at Safe-Child Advocacy provided me with practical insight into social development and child protection. The experience deepened my understanding of the structural factors that contribute to child vulnerability, including poverty, social exclusion, and limited access to essential services. It also enhanced my appreciation of community-based interventions, advocacy, and sustainable development approaches, while strengthening my communication, teamwork, and stakeholder engagement skills”.

Ms. Florence Abaka Acquaah also remarked, “I gained practical exposure to the child protection system and developed a deeper understanding of children’s rights. Through direct engagement with vulnerable children and participation in field activities, I also strengthened my teamwork, communication, and reporting skills.

On behalf of Sr. Olivia Umoh, DC, Director of Safe-Child Advocacy, and the management team, Mr. Dwamena Akenten, the Programme Manager, commended the interns for their dedication, humility, and willingness to learn throughout the internship period. The organization presented gifts to the interns and wished them success in their academic and future professional pursuits. The interns also donated games and mats to support activities at the Drop-in Centre for members of the target group.
