This interest propelled me in pursuing a B.A. in Development Management at Ghana Christian University College, affiliated with University of Wales, UK. My drive to serve and lead local communities work out their future in a manner that does not compromise the shared benefits of future generations, impelled me to undertake numerous community-based projects with Youth-Led organizations such as Global Youth Action Network, Youth Realities Network, Youth Action Movement, Student World Assembly, among others. Some achievements from this sphere includes, hosting of the Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) 2008 as the National Lead Agency in Ghana, and winning the bid to host the 3dr Annual Student World Assembly, International Convention in Ghana. These engagements provided substantial opportunity for me to develop an understanding of not just the concept of community development but also development within the West African region. These notable achievements paved the way for my selection to represent Ghana at the World Youth Congress in Quebec, Canada, and subsequent as a Rapporteur for the UN-HABITAT’s 2008 World Urban Youth Forum in Nanjing, China. Being part of these global youth engagements augmented my knowledge in emerging social issues, youth-led development, and sustainable livelihoods. Amid these experiences, Cyril is a self-motivated, confident, hardworking, and highly enthusiastic individual with strong critical ability and good problem solving skills.  As Africa Co Director Save Children Now (SCN) an international online awareness about the epidemic and different prevention methods. He has participated extensively in national dialogues and advocacy, on issues ranging form “Environmental Sustainability” “Youth and Job Creation”, “rights for Children”, HIV/AIDS and other pressing global issues. Cyril’s interest in young people’s sexual reproductive health rights begun when he became involved in the implementation of the first phase of “Save the Rural Dweller” project at the National Youth Council Ghana.

He further participated and contributed immensely to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Bank on-line E-Consultation on Youth Participation in Poverty Reduction Strategies 1/11/2006- 21/11/2006.

As a coordinator and facilitator Organized a day (22/4/2007) Community Development and MDGs training seminar organized by Youth Realities Network for some selected youth at Ashaley-Botwe in Adenta a suburb of Accra. As a Activist Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. Many of us bought our beloved “pets” at pet shops, had guinea pigs, and kept beautiful birds in cages. We wore wool and silk, ate McDonald’s burgers, and fished. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?
