Speaking to Asian Standard, Aweis Asghar, co-founder and director, Raising Explorers said: “I feel very honoured, privileged and quite ecstatic to represent our city and to win an award especially six years in a row. Its something that you work hard for, any award is an acknowledgment to the work myself and the team does day in day out”
“It gives you further motivation to keep working hard, raising the bar and setting an example for other people to achieve more with the students. We look, every year, to improve our services and how we deliver things”.
The after-school club was given the recognition at a time when it celebrates its 10-year anniversary.
