Ms. Allison Sheehan (3rd from right) and CEDS’s staffThe internship time at CEDS brought many positive impressions and experiences for interns. Ms. Allison Sheehan said: “I have never been more warmly welcomed than I was on my first day with the wonderful CEDS team. Such a kind and open welcome has really set the tone for my experience here. I recently had the opportunity to take part in a Thriive repayment activity with Craft 2 Inspire at the Thuan Hoa Social Protection Center in Ban Lac 2, Mai Chau. It was an impressive natural backdrop for an equally impressive social initiative. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with my esteemed colleagues at the Center: to learn from their experience, and to grow in our exchange.”
