Dar es Salaam. On Thursday, Tanzania celebrated its 60th independence anniversary, as part of the activities hundreds of young people have met in the city to discuss and learn how to utilise their talent and potential to succeed in life.
The event which was organised by teen author Doreen Ngemera brought together teenagers between 12 and 19-year old with the aim of giving a platform to learn from different experts in the field of education, investments, entrepreneurship and life skills.
Speaking during the event Ms Ngemera said they are bringing together these young people to inspire them through discussion and exchanging ideas on the major challenges that prevent them to effectively utilise their talents.
“We are here to spark interest in different areas and encourage young people not to sit down and do nothing,” she said.
Ngemera is 16 year old student and author of a book titled Alize Unlocked: Trauma Drama, and has been on the forefront in inspiring and driving fellow young people to unlock their potential.
Life coach Ms Grace Makani who founded a counselling company Grace Inc. Ltd was part of the discussion teaching young people how to use their talent to stand out, leave a legacy in the digital world.
