Officer (DCLO) of Bugesera, who chaired all the three separate meetings, urged them to put their ideas together and be \u201cone strong voice of change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour roles as youth volunteers and leaders of youth committees serve the same purpose of having a focused young generation in the country\u2019s transformation process, so you should work together as one clear voice and build the spirit of volunteerism among all the youth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was also attended by Felix Ramburuza, who is in charge of youth affairs in the district and the coordinator of RYVCP in Bugesera, Antoine Mutware.<\/p>\n<p>Similar meetings will also be held in all the 15 sectors of Bugesera.<br \/>\nAccording to Mutware, partnership between the two youth groups will also help them to bring more members on board as youth volunteers in community policing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery sector in the country has a target of having a membership of at least 200 youth volunteers and this is one of the channels through which we will work together to meet, make the spirit of volunteerism a norm among the young generation and bring more members on board,\u201d Mutware
