I joined game changers over ago, at a time when I need to find some sort of purpose. Becoming part of a young and dynamic team, passionate about the environment, was one thing I needed at the moment. I saw Game Changers as a place where I could give back to my community through service. Since I joined the team, it’s been a plethora of experiences. On the one hand, It’s been a blend of joy and satisfaction, but on the other hand, it’s been pity and disappointment at the lack of empathy, neglect, and misuse of the environment.Nevertheless, participating in workshops, clean-up activities, and community service, amongst others, has still been very satisfying. Also, communicating to raise awareness, influence behavior change, and promote best practices have been my most important highlights as a game changer. Being a game changer deepened my interest in sustainability and gave me the push I needed not to relent but to continue my studies in the field. Today, I’m studying sustainable development, gaining more skills and getting ready to contribute to a more sustainable world

I have had the opportunity to engage in a number of cleanup campaigns, tree planting activities, sensitization and awareness raising events which have not only enabled me to share my knowledge with others, but has also helped me to discover what am truly passionate about.
Today, I am getting ready to start a journey at Harvard (“The Big H”), where I will be studying what I like; Computer and Environmental Sciences. Hoping to one day be able to help my community to address its most pressing environmental ISsues.
Thank you Game Changers for making this possible. I will forever be grateful.

1 have always been considered and looked upon as a strange person; my peers couldn’t point out what seemingly was not right with me. After every bite, I will turn to my school bag or uniform to dispose of my trash whenever am not able to locate a nearby trash can. Until I joined Game Changers, | never knew that this unconscious act was building and preparing me for what I now call “my second passion”
– Environmental Sustainability.
Joining Game Changers has been a huge breakthrough for me, as it enabled me to understand what I wanted to do in college.
My thoughts gradually evolved from using my school bag and uniform as bins to being able to use the knowledge I would have acquired to address some of the human behaviors and other happenings which threatened environmental sustainability in our communities. At Game Changers, I saw my passion to help my community rekindled and my path towards environmental sustainability enlightened.
