The Role of Parents in Raising the New Generation of Leaders

Yesterday, on the blog, was a post by Amina, the co-founder and deputy director of the Young Muslim Women international, on Youths as Agents of Change. If you have not read her article, simply click on the link above. Today, I have chosen to discuss the role of parents in raising the youths as ideal leaders for the world. I would share my thoughts and opinions and I hope I can get to read your own opinions on the discussion via your comments.

THE YOUTHS AS AGENTS OF CHANGE by Amina Adhan Ahmed

 

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever does. This is very true about the youths when they get committed.

The act of giving can sometimes be an uphill task for some people. This reminds me of the man in the Bible (Matthew 19:16-30). The story is about the man who wanted to have eternal life and Jesus asked him to keep all the commandments. He told Jesus that he has kept all of the commandments and wanted to know if he was still lacking in anything. Jesus then asked the man to sell off his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. The Bible says that the man went away sad because he was a wealthy man.

Let's Play Ten-Ten

Little drops of water makes a mighty ocean as the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. This is also applicable to eradicating extreme poverty in our society. It is very crucial in attaining development in this part of the world. Fifehanmi Bankole must have been thinking this way when he formed the Ten-Ten charity foundation and started the charity game under the foundation, let’s play ten-ten.

The Causes, symptoms and Prevention of Cancer.

 

The World Health Organization marks the World Cancer Day on the 4th of February every year. It is an annual event initiated by the Union for International Cancer Control that calls on people, organizations and government agencies around the world to unite in the fight against the cancer. This is quite imperative considering the rate of deaths caused by the deadly disease.
