She said the program
gave her a chance to learn new things and to freely discuss important matters
the youth find difficult to discuss with their parents, teachers and guardians.
The youth program is
founded on the two organizations’ common belief that with appropriate
knowledge, life skills, career development support and progressive mentorship
programs, young people can make informed decisions, right life and correct
career choices towards a holistic sustainable & transformed life.
