Kashmi: A Young Woman’s Journey of Compassion, Resilience and Responsibility

Having arrived in Dubai just 18 months ago, Kashmi sought an internship opportunity before pursuing her university education. Yesterday, she departed for Portugal to begin her studies, but her journey isn’t just about personal achievement – it’s a story of love, responsibility and unwavering dedication to those who need it most.

During her time in Dubai, Kashmi secured an exceptional internship with Vantage Drilling, a milestone for any young professional. But her accomplishments stretch far beyond career success. In the midst of building her future, she found time to care for two stray cats she helped rescue, forming a deep bond with them. Despite the challenges of living independently – managing her internship, supporting her family back in Bangladesh and taking care of her pets – Kashmi’s compassion never faltered.

As she embarks on her new chapter in Portugal, her two companions are flying with her, the result of her meticulous work to ensure they could join her on this next adventure.

Kashmi’s story is more than an example of personal success – it is a testament to human decency. Born into a poor family in Bangladesh, she is the first in her family to pursue an education, a journey marked by her unyielding commitment to rise above circumstance while helping others along the way.

She is an inspiration, showing the world that being human means caring for more than oneself; it means looking out for those who cannot always fend for themselves, whether they be humans or animals.
