Improving your skills is one of the most powerful decisions you can make as a young Liberian. When you choose to learn and practice a useful skill—whether farming, mechanics, tailoring, cooking, phone repair, carpentry, painting, plumbing, or many other skills… — you increase your earning power and your confidence. Skill gives you independence. It allows you to solve problems instead of waiting for someone else to solve them for you. Many farmers have enough flexibility to do both farming and something else, perhaps mechanics or carpentry.
