" I believe that being a Fellow will improve my skills, open my mind to new ideas and see better ways of achieving my goals. I know this is an opportunity for me to learn from other young people and to network with brilliant minds. Also, my leadership skills will be improved as I believe that adequate knowledge and training are part of the bedrocks of an effective leadership. What drives me is compassion, my desire to see people live better lives. It’s not about making a name for myself but making the world more conducive for everyone to live. "
