I remember the first day I stepped into Open Dreams, a small but mighty office at Mile 2 Nkwen little did I know my journey with OD was going to transform my mindset, my worldview and outlook of life. With Open Dreams I could dream big, I could study on an international level, it wasn’t a selfish dream but a shared one.

Over the years, I have learnt to carry others along on this journey of shared dreams, from doing the little things, such as working with my team in Bamenda to organize the Aviva Day, Summer Academy, Graduate summit in a crisis Region and eventually the most difficult part, mentoring high achieving low-income students to harness opportunities, such a joy to see my OD-Babies as I called them win big.
 

With OD, I have learnt servant leadership, most times knowing when to take a step behind and letting the Pre-scholars evolve, discover their talent, and develop their skills. I am interested in creating a workable, volunteer-led sustainable system, where those who are two steps ahead, wherever they (I) go around the world, our efforts, hearts and spirit are entwined in supporting the next Generation interested in sharing this dream.

From the Heart of OD, Afungfege Evita
