AYICC KENYA

VENUE:  BLUE STAR HOTEL DATE:     7 TH NOVEMBER 2017 EVENT:   PRE-AU-EU YOUTH SUMMIT FOR VIHIGA COUNTY The aggression among the Vihiga youth was just what the AYP-AYICC team needed to jumpstart the youth consultations in the country. It could be agreed from the high turnout of energetic youth that Vihiga was a great choice. Since tit for tat is a fair game it was only fair that the team give the mic to the virulent Mr. Evans Gichaga who stirred up the conversation on how this group of young people could work together to create the much-needed change in their own society. His catalytic skills got the youth deliberating how they could tap into innovation and creativity for their own financial benefit and means to instigate change in the society. After this briefing discussion to keep the audience at par with why they were here, it was only protocol that the team explained who they were and why they had come to talk about the matter at hand.

VENUE:    YMCA CONFERENCE HALL. DATE:       10 TH NOVEMBER 2017. EVENT:     PRE- AU-EU YOUTH SUMMIT NAIROBI COUNTY . From the county near the great Lake Victoria to the county in the Indian Ocean now we were in the city under the sun, Nairobi. It would seem like the morning showers would go ahead to threaten all the plans laid down by the AYP-AYICC team, but this would not be so. This was due to the uniqueness of the day and the group of people. Today we would prove the notion wrong or right that the best of the best dwelled in this city, whether or not this was true, the two previous counties had given us something to remember and we had seen it all what more could Nairobi bring. True to its praises this county was one of a kind. Despite the morning downpours, there were exceptional young people who arrived an hour before time and volunteered to help the team set up the venue. Talk of punctuality. This gave the ...

VENUE :    CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH. DATE :       8 TH NOVEMBER 2017. EVENT:    PRE-AU-EU YOUTH SUMMIT FOR MOMBASA COUNTY The AYICC-AYP team arrived in Mombasa ready to vehemently engage the young minds of Mombasa on matters that were most important to them. This great expectation could be due to the fact that enthusiastic youth in Vihiga had given the team a run for their money. The team encountered a quite unexpected audience ready to engage in mind-boggling discussions. It was a disappointment to find that some of our equipment got shy of the audience and refused to function out of the blues or maybe it was the hot temperatures. But this would not deter the team from achieving its objective neither were they going to let it intimidate them. Despite the initial low turnout we held on to the boat of hope as one Mr. Isaac Oindo gave an insightful presentation on what our organization was all about and what we had come to enga...
