I wish to pursue a masters in microbiology as an effort to investigate the diseases causing the most problems in the world.
What kind of community outreach activity are you planning to do this semester?
I am part of the group of Help to Help beneficiaries which will conduct an awareness seminar with needy female students at Mbarara University of Science and Technology encouraging them to apply for the Help to Help scholarship. I intend to have more female students recruited for the scholarship in the next cohort because there is a higher possibility of a female student to drop out of school due to monetary issues compared to males.
What worries you in the world and what can you do to change that?
The increasingly alarming numbers of cases of school-going adolescent girls who become pregnant before finishing school most especially in my country Uganda
Parents have a big role to play concerning the social and emotional aspects in their children's lives especially girls. This also includes showing these girls the benefits of education and motivating them that they can be better people in the country rather than becoming parents at a young age Encouraging young girls to abstain from sex until marriage so as to achieve their set goals.
Providing knowledge about sex education to school-going adolescent girls to make them aware of the ways one can get pregnant since some are ignorant about the whole issue.
Stating examples of prominent successful elite ladies that would be role models to these young girls so as to motivate them.
