Make concerted effort to establish a youth group

Dear Editor,
As a person who has been actively involved in education, especially of the young people of Guyana, in my long career as a teacher, in seminars all over our country, and in my weekly columns as Uncle Roy, I am now advocating the start of a movement by which a continuous effort can be made towards the education of our youth in the various aspects of their lives, including ethical, social and spiritual.
I firmly believe that this will not only help them in their everyday lives but will lay the foundation for a just and peaceful society in the future of our nation.  It would be of immense advantage when these youths will find themselves responsible for making a combined effort towards their own upliftment.
I am proposing that to fulfil this goal in the entire country, each community, through its local authority, schools and other worthy organisations, make a concerted effort to establish a youth group with its members being mainly teenagers, with this objective as its main purpose.  It would be ideal for each of these groups to meet on a regular basis, and also invite knowledgeable members of their community to speak to them about their concerns. Please also explore how your newspaper can make additional efforts towards this goal of getting our young people to behave and improve themselves, which would ultimately benefit our people and country in so many ways.

Sincerely,
Roy Paul
