As the president of a youth-oriented non-profit organization,I want to encourage the youths of the world that we should always try to embark on what I call an 'interventionist policy' in the affairs of our various countries and the world at large.This should lay a particular emphasis on the areas whwere the policy makers have failed.As leaders of tomorrow,we should not lie idle as any failure to act now on the part of the youths may automatically compromise our foture.In essence,what we do today in the areas of education,health,environment,human rights,crisis resolution,etc determines the type of 'tomorrow' that will be handed over to us by our present leaders.Youths should therefore engage themselves in activities that improve on the standard of living of the citizens of their various countries.If this takes place in countries around the world,the world will be a better place in the very near future.

A friend once asked me what the United Nations would be doing if nations around the world stop fighting one another since the organization was established primarily to maintain world peace and stability.I then replied him by saying the organization will still be relevant in as much as we still have poverty,illiteracy,abuse of human rights,famine and other forms of deprivations and abuse that people around the world are forced to experience individually and collectively.He then reasoned with me that peace cannot be defined only within the context of lack of war for we cannot talk of peace with all these problems around.
