In his interaction with the young ladies, Montano detailed how he started his career as a soca artiste. He encouraged them to stay balanced and focused regardless of the path they choose in life.
Catering to girls from 11 to 18 years old, the programme is designed to not only teach the art of self-defence, but also to impart lifelong skills and discipline, and assist in improving self-confidence.
Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister Oneidge Walrond and Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister, Kwame McCoy, were also present during this visit.
