“We have had more than 3.000 youth attending training at LABEH,” Samson in Comoro, Dili.
He added that most trainees have gone to find jobs in administration in government institutions, in civil society organizations and many of them are currently journalists.
“I am happy because many of them already have jobs,” he said.
