Victoria Michaels interacted with the Tamale Chapter of Young Peace Ambassadors via ALDI,her education intervention project,in the Northern Region of Ghana. In her opening remarks,she said emphatically that People without education are like weapons without bullets. Education is a factor of change in one’s life.

Education for the youth is the medium with the help of which they can quench their thirst for realizing their potentialities. She called on the government that should the youth be equipped with the best possible education and facilitated with favorable conditions to, through the attainment of their skills, they will be assets to the community and that way contribute actively to the development of the community, as they are essential elements of the society.

In this globalized and knowledge-based world, every young person should be given the opportunity to contribute to the society while fulfilling their potentials. Since education, as conceived of, seeks to change the way one lives and thinks, the youth first must be provided great educational opportunities and suitable conditions, the hurdles laying on their way to educational ends ought to be removed, only then will the youth be a boon to the community.

The self-development of the youth is directly tied with that of the society. To help others change their paths of lives, one must first start from himself. To reach apex, it should be started from the bottom. Beginning with self-awareness, the youth should go up, flourishing and prospering.

When children are sent to schools, they are on the point of opening the wide windows of the dark rooms of this world. There they can learn about their society, environment, social ethics and values and so on. So, it is incumbent upon every society to create constructive conditions for the youth so as to receive education.

She further advised the youth to take their studies seriously,focus on their dreams and aspirations which will lead to the desired bright future.
