According to the M&E Officer, Amos Manyesa who facilitated the activity, the training went as planned and that the community volunteers are ready to bring the change in their prospective villages.
"We trained them in various disciplines, ranging from climate change to waste management so that they understand the project we are currently implementing in Ndirande Township. We believe that, our community based volunteers will play a great role in transforming villages as they pose as a bridge that connects YISCO to the people," he said.
Manyesa: It's a landmark development
The newly trained volunteers were also highlighted on why it is important to take part in voluntary works.
In her remarks, the assistant communications officer, Abigail Jubeki, told the youthful gathering to focus on self happiness and joy that comes as a token of volunteerism.
"As volunteers, we are not paid, not that because we are worthless but priceless. Our reward rather comes in smiles. We believe that, wherever there is a human being, there is kindness," Jubeki laid the remarks.
Speaking on behalf of YISCO's field workers- who organised the training, Frossy Chibwana said the training helped them to build a relationship with the community volunteers as they will be working hand in hand.
On their side, the volunteers, vowed to work their best and thanked YISCO for recruiting and training them. They promised the organisation that they will start their work once they go back to their communities.
Meanwhile, the community youth volunteers are on the edge to establish environmental clubs for primary school learners in quest for teaching children on how to take care of the environment in their areas so that they grow to be responsible citizens.
