AS young people, we should take responsibility for our future by not only speaking up but also by action. Failure of which may disadvantage us and generations to come.
If we keep complaining, looking at who does what for us, not looking to see what we do, we will become shameful future parents whose breed would be vulnerable and worse than the current challenges we are facing.
For the fact that we are not sure of when our country will have stable, forward focused, public interest-centric government which has the nation’s interests at heart, it may be wise for us young people to start forging international networks and seek international trade platforms.
It’s from these kind of concerns that Junior Chamber international (JCI) Maseru with its project team “Quality Education” enrolled for Chinese language (Mandarin) lessons from January 2017 and looking to start French lessons anytime from the second quarter of 2017. This is for adaptability as our networks are expanding globally.
