Bio

My name is Abdul Nassoro Mwakare, 22 Year old, a Kenya citizen by birth. Current I'm a third year student at pwani University pursuing a degree in education ( mathematics and computer studies). At pwani University I'm a trained peer counselor whose work is to help the University counselor in carring out counseling sessions to other students so as to help the come up with a solution to their challenges. The reason behind me joining the pwani University peer counselors club is that I'm passionate about counseling and mentorship, also I'm passionate about making an impact on someone's life. During my university long holiday I have carried out several mentorship session in schools both High schools and primary school. Why schools? At one time in my lifetime I was a student, therefore I know what challenges students go through, also upon completion of my studies I will be a teacher this makes me someone who understands students. I have visited High/secondary school like Tiwi girls', Kaya Tiwi High school, Kingwede Girls' High School, Magombani secondary covering topic like mental health, drugs and substance abuse, career choices, self discovery, what happens after school, academic excellency just to mention. Also, together with students from other universities like Kenyatta university we have shared several stories of ourselves. I have also visited Mrima and Basi Comprehensive schools during my free time at the University covering topics like stress and stress management, culture and education, drugs and substance abuse, academic excellency just to mention. I have shared with them inspirational stories of myself and other successful figures. The main aim of this school based mentorship program is to help students discover themselves, to help them know challenge hindering students from realizing their full potential and how to overcome them, spread awareness on the effects of drugs and substance abuse and also to fosters holistic wellbeing of the students. Apart from school mentorship program, I do social media awareness through sharing messages of hope during world event days like world's mental health day, worlds suicide prevention day and valentine's day. The aim of this is to create aware on topics like stress, depression, suicide and love and relationships hoping to make an impact on someone's life. My current plans is to come up with my own association "Rising Stars Mentorship" whose activities are school based mentorship, career workshops, hospital visits, visits to children home, social media awareness, prison visit.The main aim for this is to continue with the great work of impacting lives especially the young generation.
