Celebrating the Next Generation: Why These Young People Restored My Faith in Today’s Youth

Young people often get a bad reputation—portrayed as self-centered, irresponsible, or “glued to their phones.” But my recent encounter with a group of Bristol University students in Zambia reminded me just how wrong these stereotypes can be. These young men were a testament to kindness, curiosity, and respect. Spending an evening with them at a backpackers’ lodge in Livingstone was a breath of fresh air, and one moment in particular stands out.

One of their group, a student doctor named Rohan, struck up a conversation with my family. Not only did he engage with my young children, but he spent over an hour sharing his passion for medicine, even bringing out his stethoscope to teach them how it works. The kids were absolutely captivated, and Rohan showed such genuine patience and care that it was clear he loved what he was doing. To my kids, he wasn’t just a cool older student; he was an inspiring role model.

Rohan and his friends are proof that young people today are so much more than the negative generalisations. They’re compassionate, driven, and thoughtful—genuinely interested in the world around them and in making a difference. These students left us not only with a lasting impression of Bristol University but with a renewed sense of faith in the next generation.

This experience reminds me that young people today have so much good to offer, and many are already contributing to a better future. So here’s to these amazing young ambassadors—may they keep inspiring others and challenging the stereotypes that don’t do them justice!

A few years ago, I dressed up as Father Christmas and visited a few of the compounds of Livingstone delivering gifts to the local kids. I’m hoping to do the same this year, but I no longer have a Santa costume! Please let me know if you are in a position to send a costume to Zambia 🇿🇲

Is it possible to function as human being at 39°c / 102°f?

Therealtinatra is always warning me to be careful about where I film or take pics. The background is key to people taking you seriously she tells me. Now I see Zambia’s international artist posting content with a sink full of dirty dishes in the background and I am confused. Do I listen to my wife or follow the example of her favourite musician. What should I do?

Just don’t listen to people who haven’t done what they’re telling you about 💪 nati do not Elo do not lol 😂

Looks like our arrival in Zambia 🇿🇲 is gonna be delayed 24 hours. We’ve just spent six hours on the tarmac in Jeddah 🇸🇦 as our plane was unable to land in Addis Ababa. We’ve missed our connection and I suspect we’re going to have to stay overnight in Ethiopia 🇪🇹
