What's Happening at WMI?
Samantha Sibanda organized a career guidance session for 60 young students severely impacted by poverty. All students had their school fees paid, received books, school supplies and uniforms and enjoyed a special appearance from a local soccer star.
This is absolutely great!
Am also a student searching for help.
May God bless you.
I thank God for those lucky 60 students. When will applications for this year be open. I will also love to be part of the family.
Adizatu Seidu, a scholar of medicine in Ghana, has dedicated many volunteer hours to educating the public on various health topics. She has specifically focussed on raising awareness of maternal and neonatal health risks providing crucial information to community members that will help prevent future mortalities. She has found her audience to be very appreciative of the health information, specifically one mother who had lost her three-week-old baby due to an infection that could have been prevented.
Good job Seidu👍
This is part of my future plans after graduated from CMU. Many students are willing to study but because of the economic barrier, they do farming mostly who just finished grade-4 only.
Congratulations to her
Fantastic!
During what would have been his final semester of medical school Elvis Agyemang dedicated 400 hours at a local government hospital in Ghana to provide additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Well done, Doctor.
I wanted to join Wells Mountain Initiative
Wendy Aduful, who is studying medicine in Ghana, tutored ten young students for 100 hours while schools were closed due to COVID-19. Wendy witnessed scholars majorly improving their understanding of subjects and expressing a desire to pursue their education with greater focus once school was in session again.
Abel Manjimela is a scholar of nursing and midwifery in Zambia. He organized a volunteer program with fellow medical students to provide support to three understaffed local hospitals. In a country with only seven nurses per 10,000 people having additional staff in hospitals can have a significant impact on patient care.
Since becoming a WMI Scholar in 2017, Bullen Atem has volunteered over 1000 hours (including 300 in 2020) to educate and mentor South Sudanese refugee youth in Nakuru, Kenya. He has provided academic instruction and support, as well as guidance on educational goals and self-discipline, also facilitating some sporting activities as well. Bullen sees academic advancement and mentorship as powerful tools for community development.
