During the event, Franklin expressed the significance of bridging past and present, fostering intergenerational connections. He emphasized the rich local history, firmly believing in the collective effort required to nurture children. Franklin’s intention is to contribute to a strong sense of community, emphasizing the well-being of all youngsters.
