“We’ve introduced the program through a project in the area which aims at empowering children to write on issues that affect them including developmental issues taking place in their area, monitoring their fellow children’s welfare in education and health and also a career guidance to those that want to pursue Journalism in future,” she said.

âWe thought we should make that clarification because some people think the convention should be held very soon.
