Environmental conservation, community service, student mentorship, camping, socializing
I have been involved in organizing forest conservation, tree planting and community sensitization activities in environmental conservation. I mentor primary and high school students on positive schooling, focused learning, quality grades, ambition, and career choices. I occasionally camp out with friends on weekends during warm days and clear skies. I like to socialize and mix with people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.
