Keitani Graham's Profile

About Keitani Graham

This is how Keitani is a Changemaker:
I work with young people to help them prepare for life. I believe that there is nothing greater than helping a child learn to run, kick a soccer ball, wrestle, read and have someone believe in him/her.

The place for which Keitani feels a fondness or connection:
"Ua tongei fonuei Chuuk." I love my home island of Weno, and Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), especially going to Penia Village. My land is there and so is my history. I feel very proud and honored to be Chuukese.

The change Keitani passionately wants to happen:
First priority, better educational opportunities for Chuukese and FSM youth. As my grandfather said, "Education is like your mother and father." Next we need sports and other activities that will help kids become self-confident, realize they are important, able to achieve, learn that we win by working hard and doing our best.

Bio

Most of my life I have been active in sports. Sports have given me opportunities to travel the world, compete and test myself, and bring pride to my famiily and my island. As a result of these experiences, I realize that this is something that every kid should have; his moment in time: crossing the finish line, kicking a goal, winning a wrestling match, bowing your head to receive a medal. I try to coach and mentor youth so they too can have their moment! Believe me, it is important.
