The most inspiring wish
UvA student Ikram Kaddouri wrote the most inspiring wish: 'I wish that all people will experience self-love, so that they are capable of sharing pure love.'

This year it was remarkable that many students, employees and visitors of the Library seem to look for love and an understanding world. The instructive wish of Ikram Kaddouri has both elements in it and is therefore chosen to share with everyone. Ikram Kaddouri receives a goodie bag from the Library and a tour through the Book Depot IWO.

No correspondence will be entered into in respect of the result.
