My name is Hesham Azazy, I am 20 years old, grew up in Sana`a (Yemen) with my family of four individuals. Currently, I live in Turkey as I study business administration at Anadolu university.

I become now able to speak three languages. Besides Arabic and English, I had been taking Turkish courses and got the C1 certificate in Turkish language. I am an alumnus of the 11th YES (youth exchange and study program). I was placed in New York state and had a unique experience.

I have always had a passion for photography. It started when I was 13 years old, when my dad bought an ordinary simple camera. Years after, a considerable volume of knowledge in photography was gained and it could be said that I became a professional in using camera. I am able to perform short clips and participate in exhibitions.

I have developed a clear tendency to participate in any voluntary works that are held by the domestic organizations in our city which mainly oriented to help the out most needed classes. I have always loved to participate in community services and work for the benefit of (NGO) and youth campaigns and by leading some administrative work positions, a deeply ingrained desire has built inside me. Ordinary I have worked with non-profit organizations dedicated to promoting childhood literacy and poverty. So, I make sure to devote part of my time to contribute in community services and volunteering work.

I am an avid traveler and I hope to combine my passion for travel with my cross-cultural skills in my career after graduation in 2020. I really find great pleasure and fun in travelling and visiting new places I have never been to before. I appreciate the value of experiences I usually get when I travel, especially when I to learn about different concepts of cultures, traditions and languages.
