Murshid Lumanggal, FeMSA member said, “As what I’ve heard from Mr. Gandhi Kinjiyo, ‘Even if you don’t have skills in public speaking as long as you have skills and capability in news writing, you will be able to communicate your message or information to the public’.”
“I also realized that news writing is important for we will be able to inform the public about events that happen around which may also affect us,” he added.
The activity is among the capability-building undertakings initiated by UNYPAD-GenSan to capacitate its officers and members.
