In continuation of her campaign for Girl-child education in Africa, Zuriel Oduwole, the 11 year-old African Child Ambassador, Documentary Film maker has visited with the Prime Minister and Leader of the Lesotho Government, Hon Thomas Thabane, in a private meeting.
She was very welcomed by Prime Minister Thabane, who congratulated her on her very achievements and accomplishments at such a very young age. At the meeting, Zuriel spoke about the need to develop a clear but simple program for the continued education of the continents Girl Child, and the opportunities it opens up for their future.
Other subjects Zuriel spoke about was the country’s very good political stability, and the Lesotho Economy, and what she saw as a good opportunity to develop the water resources of the country.
Prime Minister Thabane agreed with her, indicating they were already exporting their water to South Africa, and are looking at other markets for their precious resources.
Zuriel, who is an honorary Ambassador for the First Lady of Tanzania and the Global brand Ambassador for Ethiopian Airlines, has now interviewed 12 statesmen in the course of making her case for educating Africa’s Girl Child.
They include eight current African Presidents, an African Prime Minister and Head of Government [Lesotho], the last two former Ghanaian leaders [Presidents Jerry Rawlings & John Kufuor], and the Prime Minister of Jamaica and head of that Islands Government – The Most Honorable Portia Simpson Miller.

She was the youngest person in that listing, which included three African Presidents, two of whom she has already interviewed; – Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, and Joyce Banda of Malawi.
