Hello everyone. I am a surgeon and graduate of University of Calabar College of Medicine. I plan to use the fund realized through this programme to find free surgeries for my community. I observed that the current security problems in Nigeria rendered our people incapacitated that many with ailments like hernias, appendicitis, uterine fibroids, fibroadenomas don't even have funds to pay for the service of surgeons to help out. I plan to use the money realized through this programme to offer free surgeries. The project is expected to last a week. I plan to recruit other colleagues as well as paramedics to help me achieve this. II plan to use part of the fund to travel to these countries to acquire more skills , return and invest more in our hospital project. The outreach will become a yearly event. 
This project means a lot to me because doing so would enable me fulfill the promise I made to my community long ago.
