"I have been mentoring students for the past few years. I enjoy working with youngsters who are working towards the environment. I believe if we can mentor students when they are young, they can have a significant change on the environment and they can inspire more people. I find these projects well planned and it's a good step towards student engagement and preparing them for the real world. " - Rizwan Pasha, Manager at Aspartika Biotech, Solutioneer Mentor
