ā€˜ā€™Today, we are talking about our youths; we are talking about giving people a chance to find the time inside them, and bring them to the forefront to address the problems of recycling.

 

ā€œWe are looking at funding different projects at the same time, enabling them. Solving a problem and developing capacity is helping people to figure out what they can do on their own by identifying a problem, developing a solution and implementing it. This teaches you the skills which will help you address a lot of problemsā€.
