The project I have started and working on in my local vicinity is one that will help the youths in my area (Assin) unleashed their hidden potentials to develop.  I have over the past few months upon series of careful study come to realize that young people in my area need  little encouragement and the sky will be their limit.

In so doing, I organized students from some of the Universities last March to tour our Senior High Schools in a bid to lift their educational morale. I realized that the faint idea of guidance and counseling does not even exist in our SHS. Our tour then had to be rescheduled to accommodate a talk on leadership skills and self empowerment, which we did on the second day.  Another revelation was that most of the problem these students faced at the SHS level was much attributed to the basic level. Sequel to this an on-going free basic teaching by undergraduates and graduates  from the community has been put in place to help correct some of these issues. the program is suppose to run for 40 working days and it has started.

Again to bring on board youths from the area who are not in school but doing other things,  I am on the verge of securing an airtime on our local FM station to discuss problems facing other youths who are in the informal sector (seamstress, electronic repairs, young farmers, tailors, etc. This radio talk show is dubbed ‘YOUTH HOUR’. It shall discuss non-political development issues of the youth and how we can find possible solutions to some of them.

A free mosquito net donation to deprived communities in my area is being run alongside all my programs. this was also as a result of rampant malaria outbreak in my area especially the remote villages.

In all, there are more I realize with the backing of my own people and other benevolent individuals out  there we can do to help the youths in my local area. Africa need institutions like AU to power our initiatives.
