Passion to Serve

I have been in the social work profession for 13 years now, and have worked with both non-profit institutions and the government sector. In 2018, I started working at the Blessed Project as a clinical social worker. My main responsibilities include managing the women’s cases and development, implementing counselling sessions, and planning for their reintegration to the community. Since the residential setup was a bit different from my previous jobs, I initially thought that it would be challenging. Nonetheless, I was excited because I got to work closely and spend more time with people. My passion has always been to be of service to others especially those who are in dire need. I love to help in whichever way I can, even if it is just spending a couple of minutes to listen to their stories. This is why I enjoy it most when I get to spend one-on-one conversations with the girls to conduct counselling or simply to bond with them. Being able to accomplish things for them gives me added strength and motivation.
