Agnes Mathenge

We live in a world where we can no longer afford to wait and see as someone else tries to place their impact so that we can hope for a change. Instead we are forced to act to see the change that we so believe in. My name is Agnes Gakenia Mathenge, a Mathematical Business Economics major and an intern at the Centre for Civic Engagement. I come from Africa- (Kenya to be precise), a continent known predominantly for war, poverty and disease, yet it is the boiling pot of so much potential that is so needed in the world today. As a native of the continent it then becomes my responsibility to try and change that which ails us, by learning about what the root of the problem is and acting positively towards a change. Working for CCE therefore provides this training ground of how to approach issues such as the economy, human rights and the environment and create awareness that eventually impacts people and causes them to see a need for change. This is what I would want to see in Kenya, in Africa, these acts that do lead to a positive and long-lasting change.
