From being trained as an AstroGuide through the AstroTribe Project, funded by the Office of Astronomy for Development , to now proudly contributing as a member of Udmal — this journey feels truly special. 🌌❤️
AstroTribe gave me the opportunity to discover astronomy not just as a science, but as a way to connect people with the night sky. Today, that journey has brought me back to my own community, where we are working towards protecting Udmal's stars and building its future as a Dark Sky Community. ✨🔭
Grateful to everyone who made this journey possible — especially AstronEra, IAU-OAD, our administration, and the people of Udmal.
From guiding people under the stars to helping protect the stars above my own village. 🌠
Udmal is ready to protect its stars and share their story with the world. ✨
