Youth And ICT

I think the greatest measure of success is imparting skills to others, adding value into someone's life via training. Such new skills can be the hallmark of someones life and when you have done that for someone you feel truly awesome.

Mark Twain said it best "There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn bad morals to good; it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones; it can lift men to angel ship.

At the Go down center its all about imparting skills to young people and also the young at heart. skills in visual and performing arts, TV and radio productions and Information Technology.

Nairobits imparts skills in IT. Just across we have Medeva imparting skills in TV and radio productions. These two agencies came together the other day to foresee the production of a talk show.

During the production session.

Medeva trainees had nairobits trainees on a roll in a fascinating mock production having an anchor for the show, panelists and an audience.

They engaged in a heated debate over the education system in kenya which also touched on the chaos that had recently struck Kenyatta University in the last week.

Just watching and listening, I felt that the youth in Kenya also need a platform to air their views. They really have heavy points to make.
