Mario Mackay's talk is a clarion call for young people to make a difference within their communities through volunteering for good causes. 
Note : With permission, this talk was reshot as original footage from the event day was lost.  Mario obtained a Bachelor of Law (Hons) Degree from the University of Sierra Leone in 2017. He is currently enrolled in the Sierra Leone Law school, obtaining his Barrister at Law certification.

With encouragement from a few friends during his University days, Mario co-founded “Afere”, a charity based platform to promote Sierra Leonean youth, culture, arts and entertainment. Mario’s undying belief in the limitless potential of Sierra Leonean youths in spite of limited opportunities, is reflected in his good relationship with young Sierra Leonean entrepreneurs, creatives and dreamers alike. 

He writes occasionally and enjoys rooting for and promoting quality content from anyone remotely connected to Sierra Leone. Mario’s talk will be on cultivating a habit of volunteering and how it would help mold the new “Sierra Leonean” identity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
