With the boost in my knowledge from the scholarship program and my work experience in Dubai, I am now able to fulfill my dream of traveling and working in different places.
I am now in the Maldives, working for a high end luxurious and executive resort which is part of the Hurawalhi Group. I am so grateful for this education opportunity I got and it would be an honor for that to be acknowledged.
