President Irfaan Ali assured the 170 children participating in a national youth camp organised by Men on Mission (MoM) that the government is dedicated to moulding them into exemplary citizens.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the second youth camp at the Kuru Kuru Training Centre, facilitated by volunteers from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), aims to equip children from six administrative regions with essential life skills.
Through this camp, the children will learn problem-solving skills, discipline, mutual support, and the significance of hygiene, environment, and ethics.
In his address to kickstart the camp on Friday, Ali emphasised the importance of learning from each other, fostering support, and collaborating to glean valuable life lessons.
He encouraged the children to familiarise themselves with different regions and make new friends, highlighting the role of discipline, life skills, and a positive environment in their development.
“This camp is about building character. It’s about supporting each other, it is about understanding the importance of life [and] understanding how to make good decisions in life. It’s understanding how you can support each other, and how to live in love,” he said.
