CHILDREN AND VOCATIONAL SKILLS
It's no longer news that for our economy to grow, we need to change our ideology and create a realistic blueprint. Today, we have millions of youths who has acquired different academic certificate but finds it difficult to juggle between survival in the society. What then is the fate of children who can't go to school, children who are vulnerable and lives in the street?
Teaching these children skills allows them participate in hands-on or practical skills which will serve as a firm foundation to survive and strive in our society today. The beauty is that, these children get the chance to bring out their inner strength, produce products and render services.
It's important for these children to acquire practical and workable knowledge in specific trade or occupation rather than begging before they can eat. They get to understand the world of work and responsibilities, how to manage finance and be productive instead of searching for jobs which seems unavailable rather they will create employment opportunities for other kids and the society at large.
Let's give them the skills they will use on a long-run than bless them with N20 daily to buy food. Let's teach them how to compete favourably in the society.
Giving these vulnerable children the opportunity to learn skills will go a long way in contributing to the development process of the society at large, as they will conquer poverty. They will be open to creativity, increase source of income, create and boost strong network and become the change we want to see in our society.
Allowing these vulnerable children access vocational skills will also pave way for them to develop life skills such as problem solving, self control, management skills, team work, humility, determination and much more.
Should we rather laugh at these vulnerable kids when they roam the street? Do we feel embarrassed when these children pass by with their tattered clothes and stinky bodies? Should we continue to trap these children in the cold hands of the night? Should we shower their crying soul with the heavy rains? We think it's time to act differently. Let's give the vulnerable children the opportunity to beat the system and design their future. Let's give them the opportunity to hone their skills while making money and developing their community.
Join The Champion In Us today to empower these children with adequate vital skills that will bring the real change we want to see.
