OMLAS Experience: “My experience as an OMLAS Fellow has been truly enriching, expanding my perspective on sustainability and transformative leadership. Each session aligned closely with my journey as a social entrepreneur, offering insights into real-world challenges. Coming from Afghanistan, where communities face ongoing social and economic hardships, these lessons felt especially relevant and timely. The breakout discussions with global peers sparked valuable cross-cultural connections that I hope will lead to meaningful future collaborations.”
