It was a genuinely uplifting and inspiring experience and I was impressed not only with the quality of the students' work, but also with your organisation of the event and its huge potential to connect businesses with enthusiastic youngsters and inspire their careers. What I hadn't expected was the diversity of the subjects presented, some of which were genuinely moving in demonstrating the humanity of the students and their care and devotion to the welfare of communities and people.
