Story
Influencing and helping people be better versions of themselves is one of things that Olayinka Olaseni finds very essential about life. It’s her biggest dream to make the best out of life in order to be empowered enough to achieve this. In Alexis Ohanian’s words, she agrees that it would make life suck less.
Olayinka is a final year student of the Department of Foreign Languages at the Obafemi Awolowo University. Throughout her time at the University, she has advocated for Youth Empowerment and has spoken out against Gender Based Violence as well as volunteered for quite a good number of humanitarian causes.
However, in the midst of all of this, Olayinka strongly believes that the things she hopes to achieve or the many things people in the world want to do will be threatened if we have environmental woes. There is a strong need for more and more people to be aware and proactive about the environment especially with global warming and all its attendant effects to life.
Growing up in a setting where the environment is the least of people’s worries or priorities, Olayinka realizes that adopting environmental-friendly habits and unlearning environmental-harmful ones is key.
Thus, spreading the word about it will work wonders, especially among children and young people.
Learning about the environmental dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals in order to be informed enough to share this at the grassroots is what Olayinka is giving her time to.
Having been formally invited to attend the 2018 Winter Youth Assembly with the theme of Innovation and Collaboration for a Sustainable World which is scheduled to hold between 14-16 February 2018 at the United Nations, Olayinka is halfway in the quest to raise the banner of environmental advocacy, but she needs to raise funds to cover visa, travel and accommodation expenses to the conference of young people in New York, USA next year.
Kindly support Olayinka by donating to this campaign and keep the hope alive to save our environment.
