NEW YORK, USA, 23 November 2007 – Berenice Akuamoah, 21, lives in Accra,
Ghana, where she has just started her third year at university. She was
the first person to create a Digital Diary with UNICEF Radio and Voices
of Youth (UNICEF's online community for young people), using recording
equipment to tell her story of teenage life in Accra in a six-part series.
This past summer Berenice worked as an intern at the Al Jazeera network
studios in London. She had met some of the network's staff members when
they travelled to Accra to do a story about life in the city for the Al
Jazeera English programme, '48'. They hired Berenice to help with the
programme, providing insider information about Accra.
That experience led to the internship in London.
