Lewis Togba Sr., former journalist, founder and Board chairman of a local not-for-profit organization Versatile Trust (VET), has commenced a project that will train “disadvantaged” youth to acquire skills that will impact their lives. Mr. Togba told reporters at a news conference yesterday in Paynesville, outside Monrovia, that Liberia as a developing country has lots of challenges, including the training of unskilled youth to understand life’s necessities inclusive of education, health and infrastructure. This, according to Mr. Togba, draws the attention of VET to buttress government’s efforts in molding the minds of “vulnerable” youth. To achieve this objective, Mr. Togba said members of VET will get involved with community health awareness through clean-up campaigns to ensure clean environments. “As such, VET sees the need to help impact the lives of vulnerable Liberians through training, with focus on capacity building in different disciplines,” Mr. Togba said.
