Chungnam friends: Sadickou Mahamadou Dembele from Mali

 Hello everyone,

My name is Sadickou Mahamadou Dembele, commonly known as SMD, and I proudly represent Mali 🇲🇱.

I served as a FISU Student Ambassador from 2020 to 2022, where I had the honor of promoting university sports, youth leadership, and global student engagement on behalf of Mali within the International University Sports Federation (FISU).

Most recently, I participated in the FISU World University Games held in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany 🇩🇪, from July 16th to 28th, 2025, as an International Volunteer. I worked as a Delegation Support Volunteer in the Information Services team, helping to coordinate logistics, support international delegations, and ensure a successful experience for all participants. It was an inspiring opportunity that connected me with passionate youth from around the world.

Looking ahead, I am particularly excited about the 2027 FISU Games in South Korea 🇰🇷. I have a deep interest in Korean culture, education, and international cooperation, and I hope to be part of that global event again — to reconnect, contribute, and grow.

Beyond FISU, I am also an entrepreneur, a community leader, and an advocate for youth empowerment:

• CEO of Dembele Distribution Company (DDC) – A company focused on selling raw materials and food products.

• CEO of Abroad Services One for All – A service helping students and tourists with international travel, including visa guidance, flight bookings, accommodation, and more.

• Co-founder of Global Tourism Service (GTS) – Promoting cultural exchange, tourism, and professional connections between Mali and the world.

• Former President of FLSL English Club (2019–2020) – Now serving as a mentor, encouraging public speaking, leadership, and English learning among youth.

• Secretary of Sports – Regional Youth Council of Kayes (2024)

• Secretary General – Communal Youth Council of Fanga (2024)

• General Treasurer – ADDS (Association for the Development of Djenguere and Sympathizers)

• President – USCG (Union Sportive et Culturelle de Guidimé)

• Secretary General – USCS (Union Sportive et Culturelle de Soninkara)

Through all these roles, my goal remains the same: to empower young people, create opportunity, and build bridges between Mali and the global community through education, sports, tourism, and entrepreneurship.

Thank you.
