Yesterday, I met with John Ngare of Lepta, a youth organization in Mathare slums. They assist youth aged 18-25 with training in performing arts. On my visit, I met with kids concentrating intently on guitar and keyboard. They meet regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We decided that TWO Hands could come and work with the youth of Lepta with their service project for a local school, Kiboro Primary. Together the youth could engage in program planning for an arts and crafts fun day at the school. We will engage more in creating a full week of activities for both groups. It sounds fun, so far!
I also went by Mwelu for a visit. Since the two organizations are around the corner from each other. Though we decided our youth may not be able to work with them because of the time frame, it still may be possible to collaborate in some way. As I waited for the meeting, I sat with Racheal to watch a few of the movies filmed by the kids in the organization. I must say, these kids are pretty good!
