Youths from Hurungwe West came together for a fun sports day at Zvipani Primary School.
The event was put on by a group called 4-H Zimbabwe Foundation. They worked with the area's representative in parliament, Cde Chinjai Kambuzuma. They wanted to help stop drug use and child marriages, which are big problems there.
Cde Kambuzuma told the young people not to be violent or use drugs. She said families shouldn't marry off their kids just because times are hard due to the drought.
Mr. Emmanuel Chipisa also spoke. He works for the government in the Ministry of Youth and asks the youth always to keep the peace. "Drugs hurt your health. They make it harder for you to do well in life," he said.
The leader of 4-H Zimbabwe, Mr. John Muchenje, was happy that so many young people showed up. He said his group will keep using sports to spread important messages.
4-H Zimbabwe does this kind of thing a lot. They use sports to talk about peace and staying away from drugs. They even did events at prisons in Harare and the Midlands to help the inmates feel better in their minds and bodies.
