it is always refreshing when you meet work mates who share the same passion with u. i recently had a talk with a fellow youth who is based in Zambia and is trying his best to contribute however little to the development of his community. he is one of a couple of youths with no money or experience to implement any expensive project. what they do is to go every weekend to their surrounding orphan centers and play with the children!!!! he says he believes most street children ran away from the centers because they are bored. and if they ran away they miss education, socialization and result into uneducated, unempolyed citizens. and they believe if they are to enjoy their life at the center they can be retained and in the long run benefit everybody. and this colleague talked about this project with such passion that i was encouraged. working with the youth or in development is a job that requires such passion and the rewards are usually that obvious that sometimes u question yourself whether you are making progress at all. u look at your work and look at how great we want to achieve and you sometimes question whether we will get there at all. whether you are doing enough and whether you are doing it right at all???? but when you finally meet people with the same passion as you, with as little resources as you and trying as much as they can just like you, its something to appreciate. i was encouraged that there are some youths out there who are trying their best to work in various development projects to eradicate poverty in their communities. i believe that when this micro-projects eventually meet, MDGs will be achieved!

youth empowerment
the cry for youth empowerment is raging in most parts of Africa.saddly the youths being advocated for are not taking any action to help themselves. we can not sit around and wait for other people with their own interests at heart, some with wrong intentions, make change for us.for change to come our way we as youths must come out of our shells and start making a change.and like Obama, "yes we can" make a difference
