The Chief of Service for General Affaires at the Menchum Divisional Office, Mr. Kpwa Sylvester Kam, has launched the Youth week activities in Wum, Menchum Divisional Headquarters.

 


He noted with dismay, the negative impact the crisis has had on youths of this Division. He urged the youths, to be prudent and responsible in all what they will be doing during these days ahead of the youth day celebration. He made the call on February 3rd 2022during the launching.

 

Given the difficulties faced by the Youths of this administrative unit, the Chief of Service for General Affaires, exhorted these youths not to be discouraged, but rather have a positive spirit as there are many opportunities to grab. He enjoined the youths to integrate voluntary and benevolent notions, and shun acts that degrade the minds and bodies such as alcoholism, drug consumption, terrorism, violent extremism, hate speech and disrespect of national symbols.

Drawing inspiration from this year's theme of “Youth and Voluntary Participation in the Major Challenges of Cameroon”, the Chief of Service of General Affaires sent words of encouragement to these youths. “I am happy for your turn out. This has added another colour to this year's celebration, unlike in previous years when we could not find you. I am proud of you because you face with courage, the hardship imposed by the socio-political crisis and the health crisis.”
