“There are decades that nothing happens, but there are the days when decades happen. Yes, Camp Afghanistan days were those life-changing days for me. To be honest, Camp Afghanistan is not just the camp of learning but the source of enthusiasm, great attitude, nice talents, strong commitment, and unconditional love and respect.”

“Camp Afghanistan is a diverse, unique, persuasive and informative experience. It can be a life changing experience, especially when you have no idea what to do in order to study abroad. Personally, it has boosted my confidence and self reliance ability. Now I am very sure that I will start a community project, one day. I can tell you that you will love it as it will help you believe in yourself, think creatively and choose a clear pathway towards your future. At the end, you will be blessed with a caring, young and diverse family.”
