“We are looking at a situation where we can discover youngsters at a really tender age.
“We started on July 27 and it will run for a month. The trainings hold from 9am-12pm daily and we shall enjoin parents who are interested in building future stars to enrol their children,” he said.

“Presently, there are about 12 children and we are expecting many more to come and register before the end of the clinic,” he added.
