In Africa, attaining excellence in career has become a fight, where only the fittest emerge winners. This is due to the fact that many Africans are focused on shortcuts to success, the system also does not help as many deserving young professionals are ignored while mediocre people are rewarded based on a corrupt system threatening to swallow the idea of excellence.

However, it does not have to continue that way, this is why it is of paramount importance to encourage upcoming young professionals to do what they can to excel the right way. One of those ways is through volunteering.

There are so many organizations where one can volunteer his/her time and skills, following a specific career path, so as to develop three things - name, knowledge, and contacts.
