What inspires you?

The motivation and the dream that is waiting to be accomplished. What inspires me are the children that are crying every night, not knowing weather there is going to be food in their mouth or they are even going to live tomorrow, and also those people who are crying out for god that tomorrow will be a better day. They inspire me to make a change and care about them and take action as soon as possible. They inspire me to care more about people and help them for a better tomorrow and to give a roof under them. The children inspire me a lot because the tear and sadness you see in there eyes it just want to make you become more of a humble and a caring person in their eyes and in the eyes of God.

Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.

Poverty and education in Africa
I became aware of this through the media all the time there are little children who don't have a guardian and live out on there own and need lots of help. I see that many people don't take action that there are many struggling orphans in Africa, most of them dying of poverty while finding a way to stay a live until tomorrow comes. I'm working on getting involved with my father organization of Heneposs, a charitable organization that helps the needy people of south Sudan. When I finish with school I'm taking a lead of being the representative of the organization that have projects around south Sudan, and when I have the lead I'm going to focus it on kids who need help and struggling with poverty.

Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.

A good leader has to make good decision and speak thoughtful words. A leader also has to lead and take action and show that he or she is capable of the leadership. A good lead has to have a positive voice and shoe honesty and caring actions. A good leader always speaks the truth and stick to their words.

Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.

Yes it has. My goals are to let the youth as myself of this generation care and make the time to learn more about issues that are surrounding around us and around the world. To make the time to take actions on things and maybe change the world and it is not easy but it takes courage. TakingITGlobal has helped me by making a discussion board and by sharing all my thoughts on posting the thread and this story.
