I was very happy when I first saw the news of winning the World Summit Youth Award 2009 in my mail inbox. After returning from Monterrey where we received the award there were lots of best wishes and congratulations to me and our team. The award took us to new heights and all the team members were feeling more responsible after the award. One of the main benefits of winning the WSYA has been the international recognition. The participation in the WSYA Winners Event in Monterrey provided a platform for international networking. Today we are in contact with many friends from around the world. We regularly meet online, discuss about the progress of our project, and share with one another problems and successes. The award also helped us make our project more accepted and popular. After the award ceremony there we received more clicks on our website and there were requests from different organisations to conduct entrepreneurship trainings with them. After receiving the WSYA, we have obtained two new projects. We have recently received small grants from Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS to conduct trainings on entrepreneurship in schools and colleges to reduce the spread of HIV. Though we have been successful, there are many accomplishments yet to be achieved. The main vision of alternatives is to establish one home one enterprise in all the VDCs of Kaski district. But till now we have only one VDC. So in the near future we plan to expand IT education in all the VDCs of Kaski district and we plan to establish Rural Youth Enterpreneurship Development Centers in all VDCs of Kaski district. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for a wonderful opportunity to participate in World Summit Youth Award."
