I want to find a job in Kantale

This was what a 'Fusion Education' student said to me while visiting him at Kantale.

The question I asked was "do you want a job in Colombo?". I was curious, as majority wants to come to Colombo for greener pastures.

The following was his answer - an answer that got me thinking for few weeks now, and drives me for the next innovation idea.

" Colombo is expensive. As a beginner, I won't be able to afford cost of living there. If I can stay in Kantale, I can save money, and take care of my parents too "

He knows jobs are scarce in his neighborhood. Yet he's willing to test his nerves on entrepreneurship too.

This is one of many examples, on why I have faith in youth of this nation.
