Hello there. My name is Vanessa, and I’m an 17 year old immigrant from Nicaragua currently residing in Sweden. I admire your ideas greatly and was wondering if you have any activities or summer programs available in Sweden, or perhaps a program with grants to travel to Denmark for work and learning opportunities. Congratulations on this fantastic program!
