Having lived in a rural setting and seeing women struggle to fight for their children, she sparked an interest in helping the less privileged. Viona has participated in youth forums to help amplify the voices of the youth. Over time, Viona has sparked an interest in social change and especially, youth development. As a social change enthusiast, she has had the opportunity to serve different communities and she hopes to gear African tailored solutions for African people. This is the reason she chose to volunteer at CorpsAfrica. “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” John F. Kennedy.
