In the past, African agriculture was limited due to lack of infrastructure. However, with recent improvements in rural infrastructure and the introduction of advanced technologies for agricultural production, Africa now has the opportunity to recapture the food security of other regions in the world that have been moving up in development.
For decades, international organizations and governments have struggled to bring education to the African continent. However, regardless of the resources deployed or the programs implemented, one thing is clear – a huge number of children remain out of school. The article begins with an elusive statistic: 246 million children are not in school. You may wonder what could be the cause of such a problem, but it is actually due to a number of factors – poverty, location, gender, conflict…just to name a few.
In recent years, a lot of emphasis has been placed on the “hustle” culture. Young people across the planet have romanticized and idealized being busy and the idea that the more you do, the more valuable you are and the more successful you will become. Not only is this not true, it is also damaging to a person’s health and wellness. Mr. Sanjeev Mansotra believes that keeping the fine balance between work-life and self-care if the key to success.

The COVID19 pandemic has brought forward how important equitable education and training is. As schools around the world transitioned to remote learning in the wake of lockdowns and closures, the challenges to connectivity and access to learning in Africa became strongly noticeable. Fewer technical skills, access to computers and the internet prevent African students from effectively continuing their education and acquiring the necessary skills to find a job in today’s labor market.
As a child we are taught that, to do well was not good enough, we must also be good. Similarly to talk about love is not good enough, we must also love. Love as an act, as a hypocritical, unfelt duty is not love at all. Love as a thought, or as a spoken word from a mountain-top, or etched on a stone, or formed as a rule in the family, or ordained as a collective notion in a group, is not love. But, ultimately there is love. Love is what we find at the end of a dark and hopeless tunnel and knows it to be the very point from where we began. Love is as true and as needed as bread, cloth and roof above our heads, and I assure you that more people die because of lack of love rather than because of lack of bread. Love is but a magical touch of God.
