• Infrastructure Development: Collaborative projects with Nukari volunteers to update community centers and kitchens.
• Cultural Exchange: Immersive engagement with indigenous communities to foster sustainable independence for young women.
• Environmental Awareness: Field visits to Cotopaxi and Chimborazo National Parks.

Banjoko, who also holds an A.S. in Business Management from Ensign College, intends to use her background in journalism, management, and finance to raise awareness and funding for the trip costs and broader humanitarian goals of the Nukari Foundation.
