It’s been an absolute pleasure interacting and mentoring 17 groups of students from universities across Sindh and Balochistan on designing and implementing initiatives to tackle climate change. In past 10 months of this engagement, some outstanding ideas have emerged, and I am really excited to see their projects be recognized on the global stage in the coming months.
The initiative is under Seeds of Peace's program on climate resilience in South Asia, having teams from #Pakistan, #India, #Bangladesh, #Nepal and #SriLanka. A huge shoutout to the Student Society for Climate Change Awareness and Seeds of Peace team for engaging and leading this initiative so brilliantly. Qasim, Shweta, Anushah, Kumail, Anum and everyone who is working behind the scenes to make it a great experience. The impacts of this is far reaching.
The best part is working closely with my fellow mentor, Dr. Fozia, thanks for all the banter! And an opportunity to learn and interact with this stellar group mentors from across South Asia. Punit, Preeti, Narayan, Anoka, Ratul 🙏🏾☺️
The team winning from Pakistan join other winning teams from South Asia for a fully-funded fellowship in the US where they will interact with social entrepreneurs, academia and others to further strengthen their projects.
