From the 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 of 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚 𝐆𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚, Salaalee, a boy's journey began. Born into a family where abundance was a dream far out of reach, he grew up nurtured by the hands of 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚, where love was sown into his heart, and hope was watered. He later stepped into the 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, where he was given a chance to grow, learn, and dream beyond his circumstances.

It was in that moment that he knew, deep in his soul, that his path was not carved by human hands but 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞. With every trial, he found strength, not in himself, but in his unwavering faith.
Though unfamiliar with the world of science, his heart beat with a desire to innovate and contribute.
