Raiqa Kamran

Raiqa has been involved in multiple projects and volunteer opportunities, she has come to the realization that success hinges on personal dedication and effort. When she decided she wanted to start her own club to teach young children about sustainability she struggled to engage volunteers and secure resources. For her that was a moment of clarity. She understood that the outcome of her project depended heavily on her commitment to overcoming such challenges. She doubled her efforts and reached out and broadened her goals and scope. She refined her goals and resonated with more volunteers. She was successful and she realized she was getting more recognition for her efforts and inspired others. This taught her self resilience and shaped her approach to personal and professional endeavors.
