According to Bishop Mwakhwawa, youths should not just rely on parents, but instead use their skills and knowledge when mobilizing resources for their organization.
“Our meeting today with the youths, is aimed at advising them on how they can use their skills to benefit their organization and not always asking parents for support in terms of financial and other resources.
