Taahir eager to connect and impact budding entrepreneurs

During Global Entrepreneurship Week, the Barbados Entrepreneurship Foundation (BEF) is highlighting some of those persons who contribute to developing the entrepreneurial spirit.

Tahir Bulbulia is the ambassador for his alma mater, the Christ Church Foundation School.

He decided to become an ambassador after observing how the organisation fosters an entrepreneurial spirit in Barbados.

“I monitored the $20 Challenge while at secondary school and found it quite interesting. When the opportunity to become a Partner Ambassador presented itself this year, I couldn’t say no; I am passionate about positively impacting lives,” he said.

Bulbulia, currently a consultant with Export Barbados, said his experience as an ambassador has been rewarding.

He could not hide his excitement as he explained what happened: “The past month as an ambassador has been very enlightening. It started with an orientation and then it was inspiring to hear some of the success stories.

“I am looking forward to the next few months as we interact with these young entrepreneurs, so we can influence their lives in a positive way.”

The $20 Challenge Ambassador is encouraging persons to get on board because, as he put it, “the youth of Barbados need positive role models who can inspire them to pursue their dreams with tenacity.”

“Our young people need us now more than ever,” Tahir stressed, “they need guidance and role models. I am calling on persons, with the requisite skills, to share their knowledge and expertise, to help them grow.

“They can learn from what you have contributed.

“We need you to come forward and tell your stories and share your journey. Our youth need to see those who look like them doing exceptional things.”
