ICYE Colombia offered a valuable and impactful opportunity for my life. I am the first in my family to have a cultural exchange experience abroad (Germany). I hope ICYE Colombia will be a channel of opportunities for more young Afro-Colombians to access a scholarship that will allow them to enrich their experiences and representations of the world.
