Alumni Testimonials
“These three days were more useful than the months I spent in college. I learned about business and leadership. I learned so many things you can’t imagine. I was able to come up with a vision plan and strategies for action. The Young Leaders Conference exceed my expectations.”Victoire Ingabire, Rwanda
“I never thought I could make a strategic plan, study my stakeholders, and learn about obstacles for my small idea. This is my first time at a foreign conference and it was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of the conference. This has been an amazing experience.”Mohab Mustafa, Egypt
“YLC was the first time I had the opportunity to share my ideas for making a real change in my community. Definitely, the best part was getting to know more young people from around South America. I made friends for life and the networking we accomplished is really important for the development of our own projects. Thank you MCW for giving me this opportunity and believing in me!”
Verónica Solano, Peru

Eleni Nanaj, Albania
“Being part of the three day conference in Kosovo was a life changing experience for me and also my first step in my long journey with MCW. During this time I got to learn more about topics that I am interested in and most importantly learn how to write a project which I later implemented in my hometown in Albania. During the conference I got to meet other likeminded youngsters from Europe and I also got to know more about MCW organization and their opportunities.”
Nevila Muka, Kosovo
