\nThe Alumni Global Council<\/a> is a board of our\u00a0Green<\/a>heart<\/a> Odyssey\u00a0<\/a>all-stars, who have been members of our alumni\u00a0program for many years. This conference was the final piece in building their network, expanding their horizons and ultimately, it\u2019s what set them on their own unique journey to develop their very own individual Global Purpose Projects. These community service projects are tailored to each individual and their home community in order to make a positive impact across the globe.<\/p>\n
We asked the Alumni Council members to weigh in their own personal experiences on the council and attending the conference as a whole.<\/p>\n \u201cJiro\u201d Ibrahim Muksin III<\/strong> \u201cI think my favorite part of being a part of the alumni council is being able to attend the different workshops, which allows us to come up with this purpose project that is very meaningful to all of us, and we can\u2019t wait to actually conduct it and make a big impact to our communities.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the Alumni Global Council helped me to get together with like-minded people, network, brainstorm ideas that will be the purpose project that I will carry out when I return back home. That was a wonderful opportunity to meet non-profit organization representatives. There was a lot of capacity building involved, learning about project planning, sustainability, marketing, and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy favorite part of the Alumni Council is really being reunited with everyone that first inspired me at the Greenheart Global Leaders Conference<\/a> in Washington D.C. and it\u2019s just always such a great opportunity to be in a room filled with people that have similar interests and passions as you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cComing to Chicago this year, I was just thinking that I really want to know what I\u2019m meant to do by the time I leave here and I\u2019ve been on the Greenheart Global Leaders Conference<\/a>, which opened my mind to all the possibilities out there but being at the Alumni Global Council conference just honed it in for me. I was exposed to people who are using their talents and their passions to transform the world. So, one thing that I want to do is plan a future where I can go out and use all of my skills and passions that come naturally to me, to build a world or an organization or a brand where I can have a positive impact on people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe purpose project that I am going to do back home in Bangladesh involves targeting rural under-served communities where there are many children who suffer from certain hygienic diseases. Unfortunately, with the lack of resources, they are unable to maintain healthy standards of living. My hope is to go back and fundraise and network with community members to educate these individuals while providing necessary resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n As Council members begin to execute these empowering projects in their home communities, we look forward to sharing their progress. For more information on what our council members will be up to during their one-year tenure, stay tuned on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> as we share council member spotlights.<\/p>\n\n It\u2019s been a whirlwind adventure of learning, collaborating, and fulfilling the mission of making an impact around the globe.
