## Resource

Welcome to the COTECC School in Bafut, Cameroon. In this episode of The World's Mayor Experience, host Joshua sits down with students and staff whose school has been ravaged by local conflict. Hear directly from future surgeons, lawyers, mechanics, and digital marketers as they bravely share their incredible ambitions alongside the harsh reality of having no resources to achieve them. These kids don't want a handout; they want the tools to build their own futures. Discover what it means to invest in "good soil" and how providing basic equipment can empower these brilliant minds to uplift their communities, breaking away from the dead-end charity model. Tune in to hear their voices—because we are stronger in togetherness
