This morning, the lake was calm, and the sunrise painted golden reflections on the water. I took the chance to visit my fish cage, a place that has become more than just a source of food and income—it’s a dream I am nurturing.

As I dropped the feed into the cage, I watched the fish ripple the surface, full of energy and life. Each movement reminded me why I started this journey: to build a livelihood, to empower myself, and to show other young people that opportunities lie in the work of our hands.

Fish farming is not just about profit; it is about patience, care, and vision. Every feed I give today is an investment in tomorrow. I believe that if more youth embraced such opportunities, our communities would thrive, and our future would shine brighter.

That is why I say: #MeshEmpowers, #MeshNiYouths—because the journey of one youth can inspire many.
