Dear Vetting Committee,

My name is Precious Ishmeala Menkor, nominee of the Youth In Advocacy Award, Change Makers Recognition, National Youth Dialogue.

I am the Founder of World Rescue Foundation.
Over the years, my journey as an advocate has been driven by one purpose: to give voice to the vulnerable and to champion meaningful change within our communities.

As the founder of World Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit humanitarian and development organization, I have dedicated my work to advancing advocacy that protects human rights, uplifts communities, and empowers those who are often forgotten.

Through World Rescue Foundation, I have led initiatives focused on youth empowerment, women’s rights, community development, and emergency humanitarian support.

My advocacy has been rooted in action engaging with local leaders, amplifying the challenges faced by marginalized groups, and pushing for policies that promote justice, equality, and sustainable development.

From organizing community dialogues to creating youth-focused programs, campaigning against harmful practices, supporting survivors of violence, and mobilizing resources for underserved communities, my work has always centered on restoring dignity and creating opportunities for people to thrive.

My voice as an advocate is not just for awareness it is for transformation. I believe that every person, regardless of background, deserves protection, empowerment, and access to opportunities that bring lasting change. This belief continues to guide every step I take as a humanitarian and development leader.

As I continue to serve Liberia and beyond, I remain committed to using my platform and my organization to inspire hope, strengthen communities, and champion the rights of all people.

Dear Vetting Committee,

My name is Wilmot Kerkulah, a nominee for the Youth In Innovation Award, of the Change Makers Recognition edition, National Youth Dialogue.

I'm a young Liberian dedicated to advancing science and technology through research, innovation, and digital problem-solving.

As a Data Science and Analytics student, I apply scientific principles such as analysis, observation, and critical thinking to understand real issues and design meaningful solutions. My studies have strengthened my foundation in statistics, research methods, and computational reasoning, enabling me to use data as a tool for national development and community empowerment.

I currently serve as the Lead Developer of the ACFI Ministry Mobile App, a project that required scientific planning, system analysis, and technical precision. From structuring the application to coding and testing, every stage demanded the discipline and accuracy associated with scientific work. This experience helped me sharpen my ability to transform ideas into practical digital tools that support communication, engagement, and organizational growth.

In addition, I am the Lead Developer of the Health Tech Liberia Mental Health Mobile Application, a solution designed to increase awareness, connection, and access to mental health information in Liberia. This project involves applying data-driven thinking, user research, and evidence-based design to create an innovative digital resource for young people and communities. Working on this app has deepened my appreciation for how science, data, and technology can directly improve well-being and support early intervention.

I am applying for the Youth in Science Award because my work demonstrates a commitment to scientific inquiry, innovation, and real-world problem-solving. Through my academic journey, app development experience, and dedication to promoting science among young people, I aim to contribute to a more technologically advanced and scientifically aware Liberia.

Thank you for reviewing my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue contributing.

Greetings, NYD organizers;

My name is Emmanuel Zonche Gaylah, I am a nominee for this year's "Youth In Science Award" of the Change Makers Recognition of NYD-2025.

I am an emerging leader in Liberia’s engineering sector and a dedicated advocate for youth development. I currently serve as an Electrical Engineering Training Officer at the ArcelorMittal Liberia Training Academy, where I play a central role in shaping the next generation of skilled electrical engineers. With over 50 apprentices under my guidance, I am actively contributing to building a competent workforce capable of solving real-world industrial challenges and driving national growth. And for my mentorship, several of my apprentices had hit social media with appraisals for my impact and contributions to the developmental aspect of their career sojourn.

Throughout my professional journey, I have remained committed to technical excellence, service, and community impact. One of my key contributions is the design and construction of a solar-powered power supply system for a radio station (Radio Good News) operated by the International Baptist Mission (IBM) in a rural community ( Kparblee Town, Nimba County). This project brought reliable energy to an area in need, strengthened local communication systems, and showcased the potential of sustainable engineering solutions.

Beyond this, I have contributed immensely to electrical system rehabilitation and restoration across residential, industrial, and organizational environments. My work continues to benefit communities, churches, schools, and institutions such as ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML) and the International Baptist Mission, among others. And my professionalism exhibited in my work has earned me the name DOCTOR CURRENT, which is now my common name.

I have also been recognized for my leadership and technical abilities. I previously served as a Supervisor for a team of electrical and instrumentation engineers assigned to the newly constructed concentrator at ArcelorMittal Liberia, where I provided critical assistance, oversight, and support. In addition, I have trained over 20 young people who are now seen as emerging problem solvers within society—something I consider one of my greatest accomplishments.

Today, as I continue to train and mentor future engineers, my mission remains clear: to reach the highest levels of achievement in electrical engineering, to solve critical national problems, and to contribute meaningfully to youth development for the betterment of Liberia’s future.

I am committed to using my skills, knowledge, and passion to drive positive change—one project, one young person, and one community at a time.

Congratulations, Emmanuel, and wish you and all other nominees well in your endeavors as you continue to impact society.

Greetings, NYD organizers;

My name is Jeremy K. Saypay, from Nimba County, Liberia. Currently, I'm studying Biomedical Science at the University of Liberia. I am a nominee for this year's "Youth in Health and Wellness Award" of the Change Makers Recognition of NYD-2025.

My journey in health and wellness is not a recent project; it is a long-standing commitment that has shaped my very purpose.

My philosophy is simple: health is not merely the absence of disease, but the presence of holistic well-being, enabled by knowledge, a clean environment, and accessible care. I have dedicated myself to turning this philosophy into tangible action across three key areas.

✓Foundational Compassion: Volunteering with the James Torlon Humanitarian Foundation

• My journey began in high school with the James Torlon Humanitarian Foundation, where I learned the power of direct intervention and community mobilization.

✓Direct Patient Support: I actively participated in initiatives to support individuals with critical health conditions and emergencies, providing not just material aid but also psychosocial support, understanding that healing requires compassion.

•Public Health Education: I engaged in "health talk shows," educating my peers and community members on preventative measures, helping to demystify health issues and promote informed decisions.

•Environmental Sanitation: Recognizing the direct link between a clean environment and public health, I joined teams in cleaning the principal streets of Ganta and other strategic locations. This was a practical effort to prevent the spread of common diseases and foster a culture of collective responsibility for our surroundings.
✓ Systemic Engagement: Leading with Passionate Youth Liberia

As a key member of the Health and Engagement Team at Passionate Youth Liberia, his work evolved from direct aid to systemic assessment and intervention...Etc....

Congratulations, Jeremy, we wish you and all other nominees well.🎉
