Opportunities for High School Youth
I was fortunate to be one of five PCVs in The Gambia who recently traveled to the capital area with a teacher and four students from our local high school to visit colleges/universities and hear from Gambians presenting on topics like career development, gender equality and the downsides/dangers of The Back Way (i.e., illegal migration to Europe with the hope of finding a better life). The attached video gives you a glimpse of the experience from the students' perspective. The students are now back home and sharing this information with fellow students and their parents through assemblies, speeches and dramas.
