sa🌱✨ Shoutout to

When Restless Development, through the Graduate Career Accelerator Programme, placed Sandra with as a Communications Intern, it wasn’t just about a desk placement—it was about real, meaningful engagement.

Sandra stepped beyond the office and into the field, into communities, and into work that truly matters.

On Good Deeds Day 2026, she went above and beyond—rolling up her sleeves to help establish a fruit tree orchard at Onyut Primary School in Kole District. Her contribution supported both education advocacy and climate resilience efforts under Meraki’s theme, “Roots and Desks.”

This is what youth engagement looks like in action. Not just observing—but actively owning the process.

Sandra is a powerful reminder that when young people are given genuine opportunities to participate, they don’t just show up—they lead, they inspire, and they elevate the work.

We are incredibly proud of you, Sandra. 🌳💚

🌳 Celebrating Sandra Baluka, intern, changemaker, and one to watch! 🌳

When Restless Development, through the Graduate Career Accelerator Programme, placed Sandra with Meraki Action Initiative as a Communications Intern, it wasn’t just about a desk placement, it was about real, meaningful engagement.

On , Sandra went far beyond her role as a communications intern and dived fully into the work on the ground. Alongside the team at Meraki Initiative, she helped plant a fruit tree orchard at Onyut Primary School in Kole District as part of their education and climate resilience efforts, all under their inspiring theme, "Roots and Desks."

This is why we invest in young people. Not to observe from the sidelines, but to lead from the front.

When youth are given space to participate meaningfully, the impact is felt in communities, in schools, and in the young people themselves.

Sandra, you made us proud. 💚 Keep going.
