"This fellowship was quite simply amazing. I’ve learned so much and gained a much more professional and educated perspective. The opportunity to be such an essential part of an organization can never be replaced or forgotten; I never thought I would be able to do such satisfying work!"

"Sahil meant having someone help our organization to do things we never could before. He took initiative, was thoughtful and he grew as the organization did"
