Sorti pour la première fois de mon pays, ce Jamboree, comme son nom l'indique "Jamboree des Horizons Nouveaux",a été pour moi un déclic qui m'a frayé un chemin dans la vie:

Aujourd'hui, admis à la "Retraite", j'ai pu fonder à LAKOTA, un Etablissement d'Enseignement Secondaire qui offre aux Elèves le choix entre l'Enseignement Général et l'Enseignement Technique.
