Having interacted with many children over the course of my community empowerment work, I have come to realize that kids pick up most of their values from their environment. By being ethical, we are planting a seed of integrity in our future generations that will bear the fruit of prosperity and sustainability in their communities. Most young people are at a disadvantage in the job market when employers practice unethical behavior. Ethical employers create a level playing field for the youth, enabling them to secure jobs and contribute to building their community.
