It was a privilege to serve as a volunteer for REGARTLESS , where my desires were converted to reality. My experience with REGARTLESS has been excellent. As a graduate, the organization presented opportunities for me to advocate for the sustainable development goals through various innovative projects greatly shaping my career ambitions and personality. Through her flexible work schedule and financial assistance, I was able to complete my graduate program with ease while working. With the small work team we were more like a family which made the work space friendly and comfortable.

Volunteer - REGARTLESS

During my time with the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s office in Cameroon, REGARTLESS was our top partner of choice because of her creative and innovative approaches to promoting the SDGs. Totally youthled, the incredible brought in another perspective to teaching the SDGs through Arts and Culture. We did incredible work together such as graffiti – painting  an SDG wall in Bamenda which was shortlisted and published on the global UN web platforms, the first ever shadow theatre advocating for peace in Cameroon, and they even put Bamenda on the top globally during the UN75 survey. I strongly recommend REGARTLESS as your partner of choice for creating the impact you want.
