I want to thank DFA for 12 weeks of learning. It has been an incredible time. After attending the last class about grant and proposal writing, I have just received a grant as a 3rd runner up for Global Engagement Summit 2022. Thank you so much for the amazing season of immersive learning.

Great things start from little beginnings. Before GEDA, I was in a rut. This fellowship gave me clarity on my organization and overall programs. I was recently announced a 2021 Cartier Fellow, one of the biggest fellowships in the world and this program, gave me the knowledge I needed to scale this process. I gained immensely from the wealth of knowledge in the room.
