Gratitude Note from Sohail Jugbandhan, Captain FIRST Global Mauritius and STARS Founder

I am expressing my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support during our fundraising campaign for the Mauritius Team’s participation in the FIRST Global Challenge 2024 in Greece, Athens. Your generous contributions, totaling MUR 56,926, have played a pivotal role in our journey, enabling us to secure vital resources for robotics kits, accommodation, and travel.
Leading the Mauritius Team has been an enriching and transformative experience. The opportunity to engage with participants from over 190 nations has not only broadened our horizons but has also fostered a spirit of collaboration and innovation that transcends borders. Together, we explored ingenious solutions to pressing global challenges, reinforcing the notion that through unity and shared vision, we can indeed make a significant difference.
I am particularly proud to share that our team was honored with the Jury Award during the 2024 Challenge. This accolade reflects the dedication and talent of our young robotics team and serves as a reminder of the potential we hold when we harness our skills for the greater good.
We aspire to inspire a new generation of thinkers, creators, and innovators who will champion sustainable practices and contribute to a brighter future for all.
Thank you once again for believing in our mission and supporting our efforts. Your partnership is invaluable as we continue to strive toward empowering youth through the transformative power of technology and innovation.
