Pakachere programme Manager Grace Kumwenda made this call in an interview with Nyasa Times after a three day workshop with Southern region Calvary Family Church youth in Blantyre.

“This is time the church should stop the culture of silence in order to prevent the spread of HlV/AIDS.  Young Christians  have to be taught the reality on issues affecting their life at the church,” she said.

Kumwenda also asked the youth to set goals in life in order to prevent some risky behaviours.
