Through the Student Refugee Program (WUSC) I was and resettled into Canada through the generosity of the UBC students like you that supported and funded WUSC-UBC/SRP program scholarship. I do my very best each day to learn as much as I can in order to obtain valuable experiences and skills that I can use to improve WUSC program, UBC and hopefully Canada in the near future.
I have demonstrated this commitment by helping initiate and organize the 2016 WUSC referendum that doubled the UBC Student Refugee Program from four to eight students a year, as well as advocated and was successful in increasing the support for refugee students at UBC. Because of the great support from the members of the AMS like yourselves and UBC staff, faculty and administrator, UBC currently has the best student refugee program in Canada. As a result of my contribution to WUSC-UBC I was one of the five Canada Volunteer Award 2017 recipients (read more: link). I successfully impacted WUSC in a very positive way and I can also positively impact your Alma Mater Society as your VP Finance and a Student Senator. Support me through your vote and I will be giving back to the students.
