Katie & Summer at SOS Kannerduerf Lëtzebuerg

As part of their social work studies at Miami University in Ohio (USA), Katie Dunn and Summer Conover had the opportunity to explore the field of child welfare in Luxembourg through an eight-day immersion internship at SOS Kannerduerf Luxembourg. Throughout their stay, they participated in a variety of programs, met dedicated professionals, and shared meaningful moments with the children and youth of the village. Their testimony highlights the value of intercultural exchange and the positive impact this experience has had on their academic and personal journeys:

"Moien! Our names are Katie Dunn and Summer Conover and we are students from the U.S. studying social work at Miami University in Ohio. We have been studying and volunteering in Luxembourg to learn more about the child welfare services here and have had the privilege to spend 8 days at Kannerduerf! We've spent our time with many of Kannerduerf's programs, including the Klick Klack; SLEMO; family strengthening services; the village; art, music, and nature therapies; and the SACCLY. In addition to meeting the professionals who run these services, we have enjoyed spending time with the children and youth playing soccer, enjoying meals, and learning about Luxembourgish culture. We are excited to take what we've learned back to the states, but are most grateful for the opportunity to have met the people who make Kannerduerf special!

As we say at Miami – Love and Honor!

Katie & Summer"
