A firm believer in the ‘New Economy’ and the need to teach non-academic skills to out-of-school youths and as part of schools curriculum, Zuriel launched her basic “Film Making 101 Class” in Namibia in February 2016. By November 2016, a [female] student from the film class had made a short 45 minute documentary, using a borrowed camera, and began shopping it to TV stations in the SADC region.
Two months later in Washington DC, Zuriel was honored by the US Secretary of State for her Girls Education programs in Africa and her creative partnerships in leading the effort to finding practical solutions for Africa’s unemployed youth population.
