This is a well written blog. Well done. It touched on some serious social issues affecting young people today. The thing I liked about this blog is that it is very informative and everyone regardless of age can relate to this blog in some way for example the fact that there are some people experiencing economic or political exclusion (page 5) etc. This is something we witness in our world today. It is clear that thorough research has been conducted and the blog addressed some serious issues. I must say I definitely learnt something and was surprised at some of the information/data shown. For example the statistic on how 70% of Uganda’s population are under the age of 30 (Page 3) it’s a phenomenal statistic and something I have never heard before, this comes to show that youth are certainly are the future especially for a countries economic/future development. One of the blogs strengths and what I liked is that instead of talking about the problem, it addressed the problems and suggested strategies. I hope it will be carried out. I feel that this blog is written for the young adults ages 16+ in terms of terminology etc, but I would like (for possible future reference) maybe a shorter version for younger people for example ages 12-16 to be able to look at this blog, for the one and simple reason that I hope people will be inspired just how I was. If younger people specifically these youth between these ages could read and understand blogs like these, surely it would motivate them and make them think twice about the world we live in. This is needed. Its blogs like these that inspire me to do youth work! I highly recommend this blog. Thanks for sharing!
