Every year, Greenheart awards Global Impact Grants to participants and alumni who want to make a difference in their world.\u00a0 In December, one of our winners was Kamila from Kyrgyzstan. Recently, Kamila used her grant to create a workshop for the less-privileged youth of Tokmok, training 15 students to take the lead on projects in their communities. Here’s what she said about it:<\/em><\/p>\n

“The project united 15 different but amazing high school students from the industrial small town of Tokmok. Through all of their tough backgrounds (as some of them come from low-income families and orphanages) they found the courage to challenge and practice leadership skills and work on their own small projects to make a positive impact on their local schools and districts. Participants learned more about leadership, setting and achieving goals, planning and implementing projects, finding true ME, problem-solving skills and the importance of SDG goals.<\/p>\n\"GIG\n\"GIG\n

I loved every second of working on Lead the Ship. I knew that through these 15 outstanding teenagers, so many other people and places will be positively affected. During the project they showed their enthusiasm, passion for growth, kindness and resilience. I believe that they are future leaders of their communities and they will benefit anywhere they go.<\/p>\n

Now they are working in teams to implement their own small projects to contribute to their community. My team and I work on helping and supporting their ideas. After working closely with them I understood that some of them will need more personal support, so I\u2019m planning to start a mentorship program for our participants from a local orphanage.”<\/p>\n\"\"\n
