“I wanted to thank DGJG for giving me an opportunity like this. I was thrilled when I heard that I was one of the winners, this is the first time I have won anything like this. I have decided to convert the gold I want into dirhams and use the money to help my mother, who is very sick at the moment. This opportunity will help me aid her in the treatments she must undergo to get better. I am very thankful.”
