International Youth Day 2024: From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development

 

The youth are so creative. And that's why giving them the chance for education is important.

Happy international Youth Day.

We had a mental picture of what we thought the place was like but believe you me, we saw more than what we imagined. W hen we saw the driver pack, we were hoping we would go down to where the school was but   did not know that where we were was the school we sought.   It is really not a wonderful sight to behold such that we found it very necessary to appreciate the teachers who work there.
