Yes, at Youth I learned to control my anger, at Youth I learned to love and respect everyone regardless of age or sex, at Youth I learned to give to others without expecting anything in return.
The end of a story announces the start of another with new goals and challenges. This time, more determined than ever the Youth volunteers set sail for DABOU on Saturday 11 August 2018 for their second activity at the juvenile prison (girls and boys).
The challenge of this adventure was more important than the previous one, because it was necessary to successfully share values with children in conflict with the law, to be embedded in their universe to identify their needs. Most of them are children who grew up in an environment where they were engaging in all kinds of practices, which explains why their stories differ from one child to another.
These 14 minor children detained in this correctional institution are there for various crimes (rape, theft, stabbing attacks, fights ...) the volunteers therefore opted for a conference on the change of mentality in order to bring them to become aware of the life they lead and to change their behavior once released from prison.
In addition, donations of food and cleaning products were made to these prisoners, such as: bags of rice, pasta, eggs, canned foods, oils, boxes of powdered soap, bleach, bags of clothing and shoes commonly called “lekè” at the request of the prisoners themselves.
Finally, we shared meal to end the ceremony on a high note. The party was beautiful and the results were satisfactory for all.
Yes, at Youth I learned to control my anger, at Youth I learned to love and respect everyone regardless of age or sex, at Youth I learned to give to others without expecting anything in return.
Before Youth, I thought that the main thing to help others was to have a fortune. With Youth, I understood that a presence, a word or a smile was more important; the most important thing is to have love for others and the will to give without expecting anything in return.
Courage, never give up, with effort there is the reward ..., let us work with abnegation and relentlessly.
Investing in others through Youth Institution is the best decision I have made. Today, my life has a meaning, I feel useful for my country and for Africa.
Youth is a family close to my heart because it taught me the gift of self without condition, moreover all the ideas count therefore I trust myself more. I am proud to be a Youtheur.
I see Youth as a large organization, which will be an example, a model, a benchmark for other institutions; the institution that will make the difference by its singularity, and I intend to give myself body and soul with the help of all so that we can get there.
Be conscious of our values and skills. Be responsible so that you can take care of yourself.
My adventure at Youth remains one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my life; certainly it allowed me to rediscover myself but above all to show my love for God through self-giving.
Before I was very lonely, integrating youth allowed me to learn to work in a team and have easy contact.
I learned to surpass myself and be more disciplined because I am aware that my members look at me and act according to my behavior. I try my best to be an example. My leadership woke up with Youth Institution for Education.
Very sincerely the Youth project is close to my heart and I think about it every day. It's very complicated to juggle between work, family and Youth meetings or concerns, but it's all a question of organization, love and will.
Youth pass, but actions remain, let's make sure we take the necessary actions to positively impact our generation, we do our part with Youth for Education.
We are a family fighting for a noble cause. However alone or accompanied I will always be Youth. Committed, available and determined.
My dream is to have an institution through which we could revolutionize this world through a change of mentality.
We are like the 3 guys on our logo because no matter the difficulties we always stay together with the same determination and eyes fixed on the future.
I feel more responsible, my habits have changed a lot including my posts on social networks, those who usually watch them can testify.
I have a sense of accomplishment when I serve others. Like the hummingbird I do my part for a more aware and committed generation.
A breakthrough, a change, before Youth I was centered on my person, after Youth it is more for the others not necessarily for me, I developed self-giving. My motivations are as follows: Refusal of mediocrity, Restoration the image of the young African, Self-giving.
Life is like a puzzle game in which each youngster must know how to place his piece in order to achieve a better world.
My leitmotif is the change of mentality, the collective awareness for us youth of our potential in order to take control of our future.
I want to give the best version of me to this project. I think that when we do good, we don't need a return, the law of compensation will do it. I would like to give happiness on a large scale with Youth.
