Fred does public speaking to bring awareness of the negative impact of the civil wars on the survivors, (adults and children alike). He often says that the impact of the violent and brutal civil wars and atrocious torture he experienced back home (in RDC) has contributed greatly to his mental health condition.  Fred looks forward to the day he will fully recover from mental health scourge. He believes mental health illness, which he’s suffered since his preteen years, has been a major road block to his success in life.
