By Annia Gaye
Mr. Halifa Sallah has stated that life is a journey towards self- realization and self actualization and said human beings must live a life of service as no one can live in complete isolation. Mr. Sallah was speaking at the evaluation ceremony of the Bundung Home Link Red Cross on Saturday 10th February at Bundung. He noted that youths should bear in mind that life is a school where we learn from experience and from each other's views. He observed the Red Cross as an institution of socialization which has tremendous impact on the lives of young people to be able to develop themselves through extra curricular activities. He informed youths that a society cannot be a good one without people being together with norms and values.
Mr. Sallah further informed youths that it is significant for them to take their dignity seriously and to know that the future of human kind depends on the type of young people, who are emerging today. He said that youths should realize that a human being without dignity, self worth is no better than a beast.
Mr. Sallah mentioned the need for youths to start giving value to social organisations like the Red Cross as they are new institutions of the society. He further mentioned that such institutions need support from societies, families and individuals.
"I hope the leadership will be playing their role as an important asset to the youths in the institution.
