He shared his experience on being invited as a speaker at many fora on mentorship and knowledge sharing.
He expressed his delight at having been acknowledged and invited to the upcoming forum and declared his schedules will permit him to be present.
The Honourable Minister lauded the idea of what he termed “Mapping”; reaching out to the experienced and achievers in life to avail themselves to the young and inexperienced for a dialogue, as proposed in the “Eastern School of Leadership and Youth Mentoring” program.

He stated that the Regional Coordinating Council was open to the concept and ready to assist in many ways possible to make it a success.
