"We are very privileged to be part of this historic meeting and we are going to share the knowledge with other youths in Kiambu as the youth are the foundation of the country," said Mwaniki.
He said that they have three representatives of the group that have attended the meeting today.
Mwaniki said that they will also hold meetings with other youth groups starting tomorrow and share the knowledge and the message of the Pope in a bid to build the nation with youths that are ready to build the nation in a good way.
