Please tell us a bit about yourself!
I am a humble person, I love seeing happy people that have peace and comfort. I am always searching for innovations that gives the greatest solution to challenges with minimum energy. When I am not busy with my work as an author, I enjoy spending time with good people.
In 10 years’ time, I hope that my Actions and Compassion Books and initiative will have made a global impact, and I would also love to complete my PhD.
Which scholarships or fellowships have you received?
I received the J-PAL scholarship for Sub Sahara Africa for the Credential of Micromasters course I completed in 2021.
How did you experience the Africademics Scholarship Ambassador Programme?
My main motivation to join the programme is my interest in the education and development of innovations of the youth. My main takeaway from the Ambassador training was the extensive knowledge on how to create a good scholarship and admission application.
My two scholarship mentees are motivated and hardworking. I was very impressed with the CV of my first mentee, and he has completed and submitted several applications we started together.
Why would you recommend the Scholarship Ambassador Programme to others?
The programme assisted me in writing a good CV, Statement of Purpose, and other application documents, which are incredibly useful skills for any student. The Ambassador programme will provide you with a positive environment to learn, and to connect with others.
