Q: What can be done to stop young men and women from being recruited to undertake acts of terrorism?
A: Well, first of all, it’s going to be proper education and guidance. Personally, for me, as a Sports Science student, I think I can help through sports. Sports can actually teach kids teamwork, discipline, and give them purpose. So, with this, keeping them busy and having fun will actually lead them to a better path. Thank you.
