Congratulations to everyone who got selected for the program! :yellow_heart::yellow_heart::yellow_heart:

Especially happy for @HadeerGhareeb:

Also Hadeer, if you ever need inspiration for more questions, you can just make an account on OkC and start answering the questions there. They have thousands, quite well worded, and often quite “tough” to answer. Their questions also differ somewhat based on the country one sets as ones current location. So for exmaple when I’d set my location to Egypt, I’d get maybe 10-15% of questions about my positions relating to people in Egyptian politics, cultural habits in Egypt etc…

Hello everyone, you know what they say, better late than never, this saying applies to my experience with OCI since I’m joining a little late into the program, yet I have the enthusiasm to see out my vision for my social enterprise. I am still at an early stage in the development process, yet my project will look to offer youth a natural access point to the world of activism, with free & discounted capacity building training to be held on the regular.
