An Interesting Summer

This summer has been an interesting one - Festival cancelled, devastating flood, community clean-up and entrepreneurship. Those events/phenomenon may all seem far and apart but they are all linked. The flood caused the cancellation of festival which was in the best interest of the territory. I do not feel good for those entrepreneurs who would have suffered because or the rain and cancellation but I support our leaders for making that decision in the best interest of the people. the country and our safety.

It was good seeing the community come together to clean up the rubble and dust. It was not easy task. I was babysitting so I was unable to throw a hand; however, when an opportunity came, I gave a hand to an acquaintance. I look at it as every small shovelful that I lifted eased the task of those who can lift more.

In relation to entrepreneurship, I see enthusiasm in the youth. Those in my circle are trying - I see their passion and realize that guidance and encouragement have to be given. They have bright futures and we have to nurture their ideas while guiding them and teaching them basic business principles.

We have lots to do and a long way to go but working with each other is the way to go. With our youth, we have to treat each one like our child - give them and show them love!
