Adam Hečl received the 13th annual General George S. Patton Scholarship of Honor in Pilsen, Czech Republic during a special ceremony during the Liberation Festival.
"The life of a volunteer changed a lot for me and taught me a lot. It brought me some new aspects, for example richer communication, the ability to ask for help, especially academic help, to be aware of my strengths but also my weaknesses. Although I don't know what the future holds, I know that my volunteering journey is far from over. On the contrary, it is just beginning, and I am sure that I will remain in my mission," Adam Hečl described in the essay.
