“One of my lifelong goals is to work as best as I can to build the society in which everyone can be educated and actualize what they learn in reality irrespective of their age, gender, nations, races and disabilities. I want to be the one who can voice in every area of my country, not being the one talking about only the disabled people’s right for the reason I am visually impaired. One of the things that I am learning from my mentor is a planning skill. Besides that, I am so pleased that I am learning how to write a project proposal with the help of my mentor and his colleagues. As a mentee participating in this program, I view it as a gate for youths to be supported to develop themselves, successfully start their future careers, build a relationship with many experienced people and get useful advice from them” said Lkhamsuren.A, a mentee of the program.
The mentors of the program are accomplished experts and professionals from various fields, namely, non-profit, international development, government, business, and academic sectors.
