But again a strategic plan to adopting the solutions need to be well thought out with the right support around it. Absolutely!

I believe that the guidance/mentorship from experienced people need to be even more strategic and on the other side time created by the mentors to be there not once, twice but on a continuous approach.

Successful, experienced, mature entrepreneurs must be there to guide them. Yes we are rare. All the more reason we should be valued. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see this at the hub. As a teacher of young adults for over 27 years, I can assure you there will be a lot of wasted time do to lack of focus, which is do to lack of vision, which comes from lack of strong leadership. Young people don't need freedom to dream. They need and want guidance, inspiration, encouragement, discipline and love in order to not only achieve lasting success, but to appreciate it as well. Young people can not do it alone. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. The model sounds great,”helping the youth and all”. but it can not work with young people alone.

I think more counties in EA will adopt this approach for the good of the future generations to come.
