I run a community centre called Wilsen Initiative (Wi) (www.wilseninitiative.wordpress.com) which seeks to Inspire, Connect and Educate (ICE) youth in skills and knowledge that address gaps within the society, especially amongst the youth in informal settlements. Our greatest tools at Wilsen Initiative (Wi) is Talent and Skills utilization through which we  encourage young people to believe in themselves and be agents of change, using the  philosophy of change that starts from within.

Through  vast community networks and my active participation in Education For Sustainable Development (ESD) and using football and ICT as the  tool, I commit to be being an ambassador in the dissemination of  information to the grassroots level.
