Voices of Youth: Hamna
Meet Hamna – an aspiring physiotherapist and competitive swimmer from the Maldives. As a student, Hamna is beginning to focus on her future prospects and career path in sports therapy. However, there are limited opportunities to study sports science in her country.
Undertaking work experience within a sports rehabilitation centre in the Maldives has been very helpful in guiding Hamna to achieve her future goals. It has given her the knowledge necessary to narrow the focus of her studies which will assist her in fulfilling her aspirations.
Reelmedia worked alongside UNICEF to document Hamna’s journey, highlighting the power and value of work experience. Her motivation and drive to overcome educational obstacles, and her passion to pursue her dream is inspiring, and a positive example of overcoming adversity to achieve success.
