He is a Guyanese native resident of the Caribbean family and renounces the title of a Third World individual.

As a Christian, he refuses to lower his standards of morality or compromise his faith and relationship with Jesus Christ for absolutely any reasons at all.

He is a very sociable and loving individual who is extremely devoted to the effective and consistent development of the young people. His aim is to efficiently and thoroughly impact the minds of young people, enabling them to see themselves as catalysts, to create significant change within their lives, homes, countries and by extension the world and thus activate and birth the talents, gifts and resources they naturally possess.

Korey hold CXC Passes and awards for global youth service 2006 and outstanding peer education and volunteer work 2005. Korey’s many achievements come mainly from his enthusiasm and love for volunteerism in youth development and leadership.

It's Korey's belief, that ones purpose births his passions, and his passions determine his priorities. Any young person who has found there purpose, lives their passions and knows their priorities, is a young person that has truly empowered and will always succeed. Young people are the pulse of the nations, the heartbeat of the earth and hold the future of the world in their minds.

My dream:

Is to become a action leader and contribute my experiences and knowledge to other friends and peers. I also dream about developing a young sexual and gender minorities network in Guyana and a people Live with HIV Network.. These network will support and use their strengths to effect change for them selves and not depend on government or very organized groups. A place where inclusion of all and all are equal no matter their gender,sex, age or race even their education, but that they are respected for who they are as a human being. a place where the role of men and women is the same and they all see each other as key towards personal, community and professional development and love and care is the foundation for everything around.

I'm proud of:

My passion for development and community leadership. My personal strengths and zeal for volunteerism. the great leadership amongst the sex workers and other sexual and gender minorities on human rights and health in Guyana. i am most proud of who i have become and my actions to date.
