“My year in the UK has taught me that the value of opportunities comes from the people we meet, the experience we gain, the challenges we face and the achievements we reach. It was a very special combination that led to lifetime experience, which improved my abilities and stretched my limits.

Thank you Saïd Foundation for an amazing year which was and will be the base for many milestones in the future.”
