Are they from our communities?<\/p>\n<p>This is key so that we won\u2019t say we want to solve a problem and then cause another one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there are things you think we should do too, we are willing to partner with you so that the challenges we are facing now will be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must work hard because insecurity is not written on anybody\u2019s face.
