- GamLeicester Charity – Senior Board Member and Media Relations
- Acknowledgement and receiving an invite from the President of Gambia to the state house emphasises my on-going commitment in helping others.
- I have aided thousands of individuals through my passion and dedication for charity work over the past 10 years stemming by being a vital member of a charity organisation working in Gambia.
- Setting up several long term humanitarian projects such as clean water schemes, poverty relief, health clinics, building 6 schools and a medical centre; I have developed skills that are transferable to my dental career such as commitment and excellent time management.
- Conversing with a diverse range of people from many walks of life has enabled me to gain experience of society beyond my own immediate environment.
- Taking responsibility and using my own initiative in the development of self-sustaining projects has allowed the charity to grow
