I want to thank DFA for the 10 weeks of learning. It has been an incredible time. After attending the last class about grant and proposal writing, I have just secured a grant as a 3rd runner up for the Global Engagement Summit 2022. The details of the grant training helped me to put forward a strong application. Thank you for your time and commitment.
