Whenever we have an opportunity to partner with different stakeholders within the community, particularly when it comes to providing positive activities for our youth to be engaged in, we count it a privilege. We must see our youth as our future leaders, our policy engineers and technocrats who will become trailblazers, and open new pathways for improving the quality of life for future generations.
