Blantyre, September 9, Mana: St Mathews Anglican Church on Saturday held a youth seminar at Canon John Parslow hall in Blantyre under the theme ‘Raising the generation of achievers’.

Speaking with Malawi News Agency (MANA) in an interview, Youth Development Chairperson Gerald Pete said that the seminar was about equipping the youths with tools that would help them to withstand what life will throw at them.

“The youths still have a full life ahead of them. It is important to instill life values and principles in them whilst they are still young so that they do not depart from it when they get older,” said Pete.
