Benedicta Loë is our new intern from Germany. She is 22 years old and has recently graduated with a degree in Biology at the University of Münster. Inspired and enthusiastic about what she learned during the CTP this winter she wished to assume responsibility for our society. WYA not only showed her the need to defend human dignity but also gave her an insight in manifold amazing possibilities to do so. Especially in the field of female reproductive and overall health she sees a great necessity to provide women with scientific based information. Benedicta will attend the FEMM teacher training which is a great opportunity to combine her scientific background with a way of promoting human dignity.
These interns are accompanied by two who joined us already in batch 1:
