 About Me |
Hello Everyone,
I'm Samuel and I'm 28 years and 2010 would mark my 15th year of being involved in youth and community development. Throughout my few years in this world I have had the distinguished opportunity of working with several organisations all over the world. My very first involvement in community development was at the age of 12 when I joined the local Red Cross Cadet in Nigeria. We were involved in several projects in our community which ranged from providing first aid / emergency response, to helping with fixing roads and other "less interesting" activities. At 14, I became a youth leader with a local youth group and held various roles of responsibility both at school and otherwise. It was at this time I also became involved with HIV/AIDS awareness and had the opportunity to take part in several government sponsored programs to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS.
When I was 16, I migrated to Trinidad and Tobago where I continued working with youth groups particularly within Faith-based organisations. I experienced development in a multicultural context and was able to apply skills gained in my past engagements to bring about successful endeavours. While at Trinidad, I studied for my first degree which was in Computer Science and Economics, during my program, i lost interest in Computer Science as I saw it as an area that too me farther away from what i aspired to, which is to work as an international development adviser. In 2005, I was elected to the position of Deputy National Director for the Trinidad and Tobago Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies Youth arm.
In 2006, I migrated to the UK and began a second degree in Law and Economics. I completed this degree in early 2009 (actually finished in 2008 but graduated in 2009) at which point I started working on setting up local youth groups focusing on different areas of youth development.
At present, I am one of the directors of a company based in Sheffield UK and I'm hoping to go back to school in september 2010 to complete the vocational part of my legal training.
