Two years ago, a former Enactus student came to one of Amal’s classes to promote the organization, and she was instantly drawn to the chance to learn about social entrepreneurship while helping others. Since then, she has worked on a variety of projects, served as Project Leader and is a member of the presentation team for both the national competition and the upcoming World Cup. Although learning to balance school work, Enactus work and her personal life is an on-going challenge, she has learned to manage the complexity and is grateful for the experience. As she and the team get ready for Toronto, she is excited to experience new cultures and find inspiration in other people’s stories.

More about Amal:

• Book she’s currently reading: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
• Her personal theme song: Schoolin’ Life by Beyoncé
• One person who inspires her: Alan Kasper, my local coordinator from my high school exchange year in Texas
• Enactus in one word: Love
• Single best Enactus moment: At our national competition, waiting for the winner to be announced, hearing our name called, and celebrating as a team
• In five years, she will be…rich with a lot of experience and a commitment to helping people, making them smile and making a difference in this world

In July of this year, after three years in involvement, Benedikt stepped down as team leader and officially became an alumnus. He looks back fondly on his time with the team and is grateful that he’s had the chance to combine entrepreneurship with social responsibility for the benefit of others. As a team that is only five years old, he shares the story of their first competition experience in 2014 where they lost in the first round. Understandably devastated, many left the team but a core group held strong and now, two years later, they are preparing to represent their country at the World Cup in Toronto, where he’s excited to experience the global network first hand.

More about Benedikt:

• Book he’s currently reading: A Song of Ice and Fire novels
• His personal theme song: One More Time by Daft Punk
• One person who inspires him: Elon Musk
• Enactus in one word: Passion
• Single best Enactus moment: When our team was announced as the 2016 Enactus Germany National Champions
• In five years, he will be…finishing his PhD studies and still part of Enactus!
