Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program Awardee

“The most valuable part that I experienced was the chance to make so many lifelong friends from all over the world. I met international students and professors from Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Italy, Germany, Ecuador, Turkey, Iran, France, Morocco, and the list goes on! We were one big international family living on campus, being there to support each other. It was such an enriching experience to hear them speak their languages, taste their cuisine, and learn about their cultures.

By the end of January 2020, China was hit with COVID-19, and it changed our world. The school took the utmost precautions to keep us safe. Thanks to the unwavering support from Global Affairs Canada, I was able to return back home safe and sound. What an experience of a lifetime!”
