Maji Mazuri Youth And Teenz Group July to December 2010

Teenz Group has been very active in the second half of the year. Since July, we have been able to recruit new members in the group hence increasing the number.

The group was able to have the first team building activity at Nairobi arboretum and Sub groups within the group have been formed. This includes:

  • Drama group led by Edwin Okumu
  • Traditional dance led by Julieut Oseno
  • Other dances led by Moses Minudi
  • Poems/shairi led by Risper Wanjiru and Tom Onyango
  • Drawing group led by Edwin Okumu
  • Football team led by Moses Minudi
  • Debate led by Nasla Harriet

    All the teens have been trained on how to prevent themselves against HIV/AIDS, avoid peer pressure and how to behave well in the community.

    We have been able to identify the hidden talents from the teenagers and grouped them for development. The teens have been trained on how to do away with shyness, speak in public, relate with others properly and have a positive attitude.

    The group has also been able to have an educational tour to the animal orphanage and safari walk.

    The group has been recognised in the community hence creating positive attitude towards it and the organisation at large.

    The Youth Group Training Centre took in its 5th intake since its inception in September of last year and the students that have completed their schooling there are now in phase two at one of the Nairobits satellite centres with the ones who pass phase two going to phase 3 at Nairobits itself.

    The Youth Group has also been busy with various activities and has begun a new income generating venture in garbage collection. This has been spurned from their community activity of environmental cleanups. This will help the group earn some cash for their activities and help them gain experience in running a small business.

    The Youth attended a camp in Mombasa this year and this was the first one in four years.

    They were also joined by a new staff member, Daniel Wainaina, an old member of the Youth Group who is now in the MM Youth Alumni.
