The Spirit of Mesopotamia (SOM) is absolutely thrilled to announce a significant achievement in our community: the selection of our 2023 LEAP Week SOM Scholarship Recipient! SOM is deeply committed to fostering education and leadership development, and this scholarship represents our continued investment in the bright future of our young leaders.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Mustafa Al-Ogaili, who has been awarded the prestigious scholarship to attend the LEAP Week program at UCLA. This opportunity, made possible through the support of the Iraqi-American Volunteers managing our non-profit, non-religious, and non-political organization, provides a transformative experience focused on personal growth, leadership training, and educational enrichment.
Mustafa Al-Ogaili truly embodies the spirit of our community, and we are excited for the knowledge and skills he will gain during his week at UCLA. This scholarship is a testament to his dedication and potential.
Join us in extending the warmest congratulations to Mustafa Al-Ogaili! We look forward to supporting him and all future SOM scholars as they take the leap toward greater achievements and serve as role models for the next generation.
