We could never have imagined that the event would take us this far. Seeing Lisandwa Youth Organization and Kawamba Youth Network from Kasungu join Kayembe Youth Network in a synergic visit was truly inspiring. The triumph was remarkable, especially reflected in the faces of the youths who actively participated throughout the day.
As Gwero CBO, we are proud to witness the progress we are making through the numerous youths constantly engaging with us. This demonstrates that we are offering meaningful opportunities and support for young people’s growth. Our mission remains steadfast: providing solutions that youths can embrace to respond effectively to challenges affecting their daily lives. We aim to engage even more youths, encouraging collaboration and the sharing of ideas, skills, and experiences that empower everyone to thrive.
Special thanks to those who joined this conference despite the abrupt arrangements: Senior Chief Kayembe, Ireen Kabanga (ADC Chair), Mr. Wilson Grey Mkanakufa (MHRC Rep), and others whose contributions were invaluable. Your presence uplifted us and energized the event.
Honorable Jairos Bonongwe, Member of Parliament representing Kasungu West, escorted our transients and served as Guest of Honor. His speech was unifying and thought-provoking, addressing issues that sparked the interest and engagement of youths. He emphasized:
"Achinyamata ozitsata akumayenera kumachitapo kanthu kuti asamve ululu nthawi imene zinthu sizikuyenda bwino mdziko. Wachinyamata osazitsana amafuna kalikonse azipempha, akamanidwa azipsa mtima. We need to take our responsibilities seriously and step up for our own progress."
The day was further enriched with comedies, poetry, dances, and other cultural activities that celebrated youth talent and creativity.
