Yes, at Youth I learned to control my anger, at Youth I learned to love and respect everyone regardless of age or sex, at Youth I learned to give to others without expecting anything in return.
On Saturday, January 25, 2020, a Youth press conference was held at the conference room of the Silloe bookstore in Cocody.
The meeting was attended by 100 guests including 16 media, representatives of some international institutions, leaders and volunteers numbering 24 and 50 guests.
The conference started at 9am with the intervention of Franck GOZE founder of youth institution who made a summary of the activities of youth institution since its creation until today. Thus, from medical activities to training of youth in leadership and volunteering through conferences and donations and excursions made by youth institution, no activity was omitted. also all the representations of youth institution were listed in order to allow all the press to be imbued with our efforts and also what we are able to do with the little we have and the will.
In addition, a detailed financial balance sheet was made by the Mel leader from activities in Ivory Coast to activities in Ghana, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, France and the USA. The total financial balance sheet of all its activities amounts to about 13,000,000 CFA francs.
Just after this unpacking, questions were opened to the public present to remove some shadows, among which the one asked by a guest asking us if we were willing to take help from people in the shadows or if we were categorically closed to outside help. To this question the founder replied that any help was welcome, only that we do not have the sos culture to meet our major challenges and that we were waiting for major problems to do so.
Then to the question of what we youth plan to do in this election period to raise awareness among youth about non-violence and the language of the ballot box, the founder replied that awareness campaigns were planned for this.
In addition, some difficulties encountered in the field in the exercise of our missions, the main one being the influence of politicians who want to take ownership of the project at all costs, were listed by the founder at the request of a guest.
Then the institutional film youth which retraces in images all the youth activities with strong testimonies of the people impacted by the youth project since its creation.
Everyone, media as guests, and leaders as volunteers were emotionally touched by this film through which people spoke from the heart about the impact youth has had on their lives.
A few hours before the end of the film, some of the guests congratulated, encouraged and advised the whole team.
The ceremony ended at 11 am with the family photo.
List of media present and youth financial statement.
Yes, at Youth I learned to control my anger, at Youth I learned to love and respect everyone regardless of age or sex, at Youth I learned to give to others without expecting anything in return.
Before Youth, I thought that the main thing to help others was to have a fortune. With Youth, I understood that a presence, a word or a smile was more important; the most important thing is to have love for others and the will to give without expecting anything in return.
Courage, never give up, with effort there is the reward ..., let us work with abnegation and relentlessly.
Investing in others through Youth Institution is the best decision I have made. Today, my life has a meaning, I feel useful for my country and for Africa.
Youth is a family close to my heart because it taught me the gift of self without condition, moreover all the ideas count therefore I trust myself more. I am proud to be a Youtheur.
I see Youth as a large organization, which will be an example, a model, a benchmark for other institutions; the institution that will make the difference by its singularity, and I intend to give myself body and soul with the help of all so that we can get there.
Be conscious of our values and skills. Be responsible so that you can take care of yourself.
My adventure at Youth remains one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my life; certainly it allowed me to rediscover myself but above all to show my love for God through self-giving.
Before I was very lonely, integrating youth allowed me to learn to work in a team and have easy contact.
I learned to surpass myself and be more disciplined because I am aware that my members look at me and act according to my behavior. I try my best to be an example. My leadership woke up with Youth Institution for Education.
Very sincerely the Youth project is close to my heart and I think about it every day. It's very complicated to juggle between work, family and Youth meetings or concerns, but it's all a question of organization, love and will.
Youth pass, but actions remain, let's make sure we take the necessary actions to positively impact our generation, we do our part with Youth for Education.
We are a family fighting for a noble cause. However alone or accompanied I will always be Youth. Committed, available and determined.
My dream is to have an institution through which we could revolutionize this world through a change of mentality.
We are like the 3 guys on our logo because no matter the difficulties we always stay together with the same determination and eyes fixed on the future.
I feel more responsible, my habits have changed a lot including my posts on social networks, those who usually watch them can testify.
I have a sense of accomplishment when I serve others. Like the hummingbird I do my part for a more aware and committed generation.
A breakthrough, a change, before Youth I was centered on my person, after Youth it is more for the others not necessarily for me, I developed self-giving. My motivations are as follows: Refusal of mediocrity, Restoration the image of the young African, Self-giving.
Life is like a puzzle game in which each youngster must know how to place his piece in order to achieve a better world.
My leitmotif is the change of mentality, the collective awareness for us youth of our potential in order to take control of our future.
I want to give the best version of me to this project. I think that when we do good, we don't need a return, the law of compensation will do it. I would like to give happiness on a large scale with Youth.
