Chimanimani PSA Group Hosts Tutor Meeting
Thursday, 11 February 2010
A PSA student has expressed concern at the tendency of people, especially young people, not to see the practical application of their thoughts and words. Mr. Katuntamfwa was speaking at the first tutor meeting to be hosted by a PSA group in Kabwe.
“Most young people do not seem to understand that what they say or what they know can be translated into action”, said Mr. Katuntamfwa. “But this does not only affect young people, it seems to be a tendency that affects many people. We see people spending a whole year talking about wellbeing and yet do nothing meaningful about it.”
