\"united-states-embassy-2\"During the meeting, over 20 teenagers from the Andros Youth Outreach Program provided a presentation on a business entrepreneurship program they recently completed.\u00a0 Each youth presenter spoke briefly about their experience in an assigned position operating a simulated business venture under the program.<\/p>\n

Charg\u00e9 Johnson presented all of the participants in the business entrepreneurship program with certificates of achievement and gave remarks promoting entrepreneurship, leadership, and teamwork.\u00a0 Although the simulated business venture did not turn a profit, the Charg\u00e9 emphasized the valuable lesson the participants had learned and the importance of understanding that everyone may not succeed the first time.<\/p>\n

At the end of the meeting, Charg\u00e9 Johnson officially presented the Central Andros District Council Office Resource Center with a collection of books donated by the U.S. Embassy to assist with increasing the resource center\u2019s recently established reading collection.\u00a0 This latest donation of books in Andros is part of the U.S. Embassy\u2019s continuing support to improve education and learning resources in The Bahamas.
