CAPP Youth Wing

Hello CAPP youth wing. If you are an Executive Member of the CAPP youth wing,
kindly send your photo and your position. Am trying to develop a newsletter. Thanks John Phiri.

Dear CAPP youth wing members. Hope you are all doing fine. As we may all be aware Muhamed Nafie is longer with us. We thank him for all the hard work and dedication to the youth of Africa. He may have started another journey in his life but we will forever be with him in spirit. I thought i should take this opportunity to re-energize the CAPP youth wing. I was thinking that it is very important for the CAPP youth wing to embark on working on a five or ten year strategic plan. Please feel free to contribute to this proposal so that we can share ideas on how we can all make this happen together. A strategic plan will help us as CAPP youth wing have a clear road map of whatever we are trying to do and achieve on behalf of the African youth. Kind regards to you all and may the good Lord bless you all. John Phiri , Vice President CAPP youth wing - Southern Region

Happy New Year to all 😘
