" I am so passionate about young people who have been affected by trauma. This is because young people are often helpless, financially dependent and are largely in need of assistance to cope successfully with trauma.
Young people need a lot of help and we can not afford to lose them because they are our future.
I believe so much in young people because I know that by helping them, I am saving the future of my country, my continent and even the world at large. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Compassion for Humanity
Compassion for Humanity's project is a campus project led by Millennium Fellows on Obafemi Awolowo University campus.

The project seeks to give sustainable solution to trauma by raising public awareness and educating the public about trauma and trauma-related issues, causes, and ways to handle them and by empowering people via education and skill development for the advancement of Humanity. It briefly addresses problems the general public faces daily due to those issues and difficulties.
