Good Move

Mentorship is more comprehensive than counselling. Yes get her counselled but beyond the tall , walk her journey. Talk to her parent’s teachers and for her open the world of opportunities. Expose her to the world. Impressed. Benjamin Franklin once said “Tell me and I forget, teach me and may remember but involve me and I will learn”.
