Participant Testimonials

“My Insight on Leadership” – Shalomi

This camp deeply changed how I understand leadership. I used to think leadership meant control and authority. Now I see that true servant leadership is about empowering people, working together, and building trust and mutual respect.

“It’s Not About Power, It’s About Me” – Kulsum

Through this camp, I learned a new view of power. I used to think power belonged only to leaders. Now I understand that everyone has power, and it can be used well or misused. True power must always be practiced with justice and fairness.

Testimony – Nishir

I learned about four leadership styles and their strengths and weaknesses. I also learned how to turn team weaknesses into strengths. Change is difficult, but not impossible.

Testimony – Sharmin

I used to think conflict only meant fighting or arguing. This camp showed me that conflict isn’t always negative—it can spark new ideas and lead to growth.
