Facilitator REPAIR project.


This was under the umbrella of the REPAIR project which has as objective to train youths in deverse fields for a sustainable society. 

Talking to the gatekeeper20' the host of the REPAIR project miss Ali Patient said "I discovered that most of the youths do not take peace building and community development as their responsibilities. Some do not have have visions and so are just living through life without any impact. Some focus more on school and don't differentiate between Purpose and career,so had to step in to drill them on peace building, community development which can be achieved through what ever work of life they have interest in. Also create awareness in the youths on the importance of Volunteerism.

The workshop took place at Nkwen - Bamenda on Saturday may 7 2022. The Participants who came from different works if life were enlightened on topics like social media and peace building, how Young people can change the world, and entrepreneurship for global relevance and social harmony with Mbun Freedom, Ntam Damaris , and Kigha Daniel resptively as facilitators. 

 Kigha Daniel, one of the facilitators share his views on the choice of his topic and the gap he wants to fill. "The topic was designed base on the dynamics in our society meted with the numerous conflicts sterling from under employment and unemployment. More so the topic was an inspiration drawn from the juvenile growth amongst youths in our societies knowing the role of youths in peace building. 

Actually youths have constantly failed in taking the lead and leaving flag bearers for peace. I therefor came up to the topic, “entrepreneurship for global relevance and social harmony”which was intended to trail youths on the need to take their entrepreneurial drive as a tool for a peaceful society in a unified world in diversity.

The gap I tried closing is making youths know that they are leaving “peace preneurs”
