President, IVLPAA

One of the greatest privileges we have enjoyed in the IVLP family is witnessing our members’ enthusiasm for giving back to society.
We are deeply grateful for being selected for the exchange program, both as individuals and as a collective. We believe the best way to show our appreciation is through our actions—specifically, by making a meaningful impact in our communities. 


The United States government’s investment in us would be wasted if we didn’t contribute significantly to our society, communities, and nation.
As the proud president of this alumni association, composed of respected leaders with brilliant minds and vast human resources, I am delighted to highlight the countless individual impact projects our members have delivered to various communities. While there are too many to mention, their scale and significance speak volumes.


For us, the IVLP family is evolving into a nation within a nation—one where the language is love, filled with compassion, and the currency is impact. Together, we are building the nation we desire and deserve.
