#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Hend ElSayed, Egypt MSc International Strategic Marketing University of Glasgow . “What I like the most in the UK is the calm nature of Scotland mixed with fancy Victorian architecture. When I was younger, I got inspired by one of my professors who had his degree in Edinburgh. All I dreamt that time is to have the same fate with my professor—to study in the UK, and Chevening made it come true.” . #IAmChevening # MyCheveningJourney #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Glasgow, United Kingdom)

#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Maite Capendeguy, Uruguay MSc Environmental Engineering Newcastle University . “Chevening is much more than studying at a prestigious university, it is about learning from other Cheveners' experience and point of view. Chevening is about bridging gaps. I discovered that people in Syria drink the typical Uruguayan drink and in Belarus they know about it. But above all, it is about realising that no matter which our cultural background is, we all believe in building a better future and the Chevening experience makes this easier. What I like the most about studying in the UK, is the amount of people from all over the world that I have met. Also, I love the English sense of humour and their politeness.” . #IAmChevening # MyCheveningJourney #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Newcastle Castle)

#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Mirick Paala, Philippines MSc Sustainability in Transport University of Leeds . “From meeting renowned experts in the field of transport, to climbing on top of Arthur’s Seat only with a pair of sneakers, to tasting food from different parts of the globe, there is so much to love and learn from studying and living in the UK. The best part of it is the opportunity of growing for the better – to challenge one’s own beliefs and share the struggle with students from all parts of the world, to be constantly in awe and inspired by UK’s rich culture and to listen and learn from countless stories and become a better person. Chevening has not only enabled me to fulfill my life-long dream to study in the UK, it also opened the opportunity to connect and be friends with future leaders. To know their stories and to listen to their dreams give me more confidence and inspiration to also believe in myself, to continue giving my best, and to serve my country.” .

#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Thabo Moea, Lesotho MSc Environmental Management Aberyswyth University 〰 “As an environmental activist, I like the beautiful scenery of UK landscapes — green even winter and getting shower of rain almost every day. Besides that, people are so friendly and understanding. The university provides all necessary resources and gives the best student support. Chevening is an opportunity of a lifetime. It provides a platform for global and young innovative thinkers and leaders to expand their networks. It is more than an academkc scholarship as it promotes leadership skill development.” 〰 #IAmChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Conwy)
