After nine years of teaching science in Cameroon, I began looking for scholarship opportunities upon observing some of my high-achieving but low-income students getting married too early and others getting into hawking business after their GCE Advanced Level owing to insufficient funds to continue with education. 

 

 With the belief that service to humanity is the greatest job description and with a growing need for "Education for All",  I have dedicated my time, resources, and energy to visiting schools, gathering students & young people, and some teachers in my community and encouraging them to work relentlessly on their dreams. 

 

Due to my passion for humanity, I became part of Open Dreams where I now serve as the Program Coordinator for the West Region in Cameroon. In addition to this role, I also serve two other access organizations that are partners with Open Dreams; I serve as the Associate Director of Field Operations and Mentorship for the Urega Foundation, and a mentor for the Jumbam Family Foundation.

As a result of others' encouragement, I became self-motivated to pursue my education and hope to earn a PhD someday soon.  

When you spend time with like-minded individuals, like the Open Dreams team, dreams become real.
