" I want to ensure good leadership, proper communication, Adaptability, team work, problem solving, time management, creativity and interpersonal
My goals are:
- Induce a strong and self dependent character in children as they adapt around their various environments and coastlines to be precise
- Alter the behaviors and mindset of the fishermen and other residents through awareness campaigns
- Prepare and arrange awareness materials like flyers, posters
- Organise workshop, seminars or webinars with all educational institutions because no matter their focus areas everything still happens in their immediate environment
- Carry out cleanup exercise to collect waste deposited in order to know the type of waste causing the highest rate of pollution and how it can be reduced or controlled and also due to the frequency of the cleanup we will know if the pollution rate is increasing or decreasing with reference from the data collected

Millennium Fellowship Project: Marine Debris and Plastic Pollution in Cameroon
Marine Debris and Plastic Pollution in Cameroon is a project focused on SDG14, conserve and sustainably use ocean, seas and marine resources for sustainable development based on indicator 14.1 which states that by 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds. It was a group project with Frankline Teke Njumbe.
The aim of this project is to improve live style, share knowledge to the people of local community and students that contribute to this issue through education and evaluation on how they will benefit from this change which will be explained subsequently:
- Visit the university and two secondary schools with one of them from the coastline communities to talk about this problem of plastic pollution since they are aspiring leaders of tomorrow and they can have a cognitive character to encourage sustainability
- Carry out awareness campaigns through radio and television programs to target a wider population and also through questionnaires to know their thoughts and problems they're facing and their perception of how they see things and how their mistakes can be corrected
