SGC 2021

“During my experience at YYGS, I gained college experience, met individuals from all over the world, and attended seminars and lectures that were new to me and allowed me to broaden my horizons. Playing games, exchanging personal experiences, and digesting lectures with family members, as well as our mentor Zander’s lovely smiling face, taught me that we should always be optimistic.”

I implemented a recycling system in my city and after increasing my knowledge and gaining more experience from YYGS I am now scaling my initiative on a national scale by presenting the project to the president of Tajikistan and getting approval. I also participated in organizing a 200-person in the first AI forum in Central Asia with CEOs, government and technology leaders such as Alphabet Chairman John Hennessey.
