Scholarship / Leadership essay. Demonstrate your potential for leadership include details of positions held [2]
My first experience as a leader was in college in charge of the environmental club. It was a great experience that provided a platform to reach out to the community through sensitization and clean-up activities. I was able to coordinate the drafting of our mandate as a club, ensure that our programs were engaging and this drew other students to join the club despite the fact that they were not environment students. Was able to establish a network with the County environment sector as well as the Kenya Forest Service who facilitated some activities by providing seedlings and forums for community interaction.
Thereafter, I volunteer as an intern at the County Government the environment sector. During the period, I participated in sector policy drafting, budgeting which was approved and selecting casual workers. Later, was nominated to participate in monitoring and evaluation training in order to develop expertise in monitoring the objectives of the sector plan and tally with the County integrated Development plans to assess performance and goals achieved.
My engagement with Adventist Development and Relief Agency Kenya has enabled me to reach out to the community. As assistant project leader, have been able to sensitize women on obstetric fistula within Nyanza region and about 207 have been treated so far. Am also responsible for follow-up on progress after treatment and academic placement of drop-outs. This has enabled me to act as a mediator to women whose husband are reluctant on such issues and sensitized them on the same.
