More experience, more Impact. A Snapshot of stories from our members I am currently reading a Master’s in Business law, University of Douala, Cameroon. I joined AIESEC in December 2011.I heard about this organization by a friend who encouraged me to join it. I contacted the president of the local committee of Douala and he invited me for an info session. My first really contact with AIESEC was at JumpIn (National Induction Seminar) 2011 organized in Bamenda. I was very impressed, seeing the potentials my own fellow school and bench mates were doing on stage; to me it was a dream. I joined the organization first by curiosity, but after knowing what they were dealing with I decided to take it. Seriously and continue the adventure with them. What motivated me is that I wanted to improve myself by getting this “team spirit”, in fact I have naturally this strong character and in the past I had relevant experiences leadership positions but I was acting like a “chief “not a leader and I knew that I had to learn how to be a “leader not a tyrant”.

have learnt a lot about time management and organization because as I had many things to do at the same time with a lot pressure from my parent’s about my school results, AIESEC about AIESEC results and me about my personal business, it was not easy at all. AIESEC have thought me lessons that were beyond my imagination. In fact I learned how to strike, never give up in spite of all the difficulties that I can meet. All I can say is that AIESEC is incredible some will tell you nice story, others terrible one’s, but you should know keep in mind that every experience is unique, try and never regret you are a leader believe in yourself and know that in every situation you can find an opportunity not a problem. I had my AIESEC experience, it’s mine, join AIESEC and gain yours, challenge y yourself, the only risk that you run is to grow .MANUELA BALEP, Vice president exchange 12/13
I’m a final year student in the University of Buea studying biochemistry. Well, I became an AIESECer around April last year. The main reason stems back to my early youth. My father used to say; “When people die, they become the past. We then refer to them as he or she was. Only people who have marked the world and left a legacy are still remembered today.” When I heard about AIESEC during the second phase recruitment process last year, I said to myself “this might be it” The opportunity to be remembered for something and create IMPACT, so I jumped in. I also joined AIESEC because it was BIG and international. This AIESEC year has been really great, with lots of experience and education and challenges, key amongst which were related to project implementation and financial
sustainability, Improved a lot on not only my public speaking skills but also on my leadership skills not to mention general improvement in managing hard and soft skills. History always rewards the brave, it has never rewarded those who just stood aside and waited for things to get better. We are living in a world that is fast changing and you have to be ready to step in if not you will be left behind. Always be proactive and inquisitive. Ask questions about things you don’t understand because information is power. AYONG CHICK, Vice President, Talent Management
I studied businesses law at university of Yaoundé 2 SOA. Charles EBOLO,29rs After 3 years, I AIESEC Yaoundé followed training in transports and logistics and with AIESEC I have a new passion: being humanitarian. I joined AIESEC in 2012 to improve my English because French is my native language, learn team work and sip the diversity of AIESEC; since then, it has been a love story, I have assisted in several conferences and projects of AIESEC . Today, I am proud of all the experience I have gained, I have learned to shape my destiny and give it the right flavor. AIESEC to me stands as the best organization in terms of youth development, sometimes I wonder why I didn’t know AIESEC earlier. Charles EBOLO, Team Leader AIESEC Yaoundé
Hey AIESEC!! I am currently reading masters in management at the University of Dschang. I WOKO Josiane,22 yrs joined AIESEC in AIESEC Dschang 2012 because it’s a platform of opportunities and a global student organization. It provides members with the means to develop themselves, their leadership, their professional skills. It has been a great experience for. Like for example you will attend conferences where you will meet different people and this really helped me to develop my networking skills, most of all, team management. It is amazing knowing that you have to manage people (members). What is nice is that during those conferences you will learn how to do it, that is, they train you on that. This has motivated be to take a leadership, currently I am in charge of talent management, in my Local committee, LC Dschange WAKO Josiane Talent manager AIESEC Dschang
