Being a part of the mentorship program was an excellent chance for me, and what motivated me was that they provided a free space for practicing and acquiring skills that are not always taught in schools, such as ICT. They engage, educate, and empower the next generation. And that served as a great source of inspiration for me.

I found a strong talent in their academic field and uniqueness in creative thinking that makes me inspired. They used to seek counseling and assistance to become exceptional mentees in their homes, communities, schools, and societies. They have beautiful ideas, and a few may have personal issues that must be resolved.

We forged an unbreakable friendship with the mentees’ thanks to the training session experiences that encouraged me.
