“What next” being the main theme of the day, 12th
August 2014 marked a great youth empowerment day in Kenya. The V.I.Ps and other
distinguished guests were expected to tell the youths what next to look forward to and
give them hope as they go through their struggle.
Mental health being a major concern to the youths, the
mental health ambassador Sitawa Wafula urged that there was much that was
needed to be done by the Gov’t: to the people living with epilepsy and mental
health issues. From our guests they had
much to say to the youths: unemployment and generation of jobs to the youths,
creation of more opportunities to the youths, and much other more about mental
health.
A torch was lit to symbolize a new era of youths in our
country. Thus, youths were supposed to wake up and do something, and if they
have the will to do it and pursue it, they will reach their destination, get to
greater heights, their goals, objectives and dreams, and even the impossible. As
this is their time they needed to utilize by being focused and alert, to make a
better future, a better society and a better nation. For instance the Youth
Enterprise Funds provided by the Gov’t, the challenge is now to the youths to come
up with healthy projects, business plans or even nature their talents for those
who are gifted.
All in all everybody has to understand that the youths are
the backbone of every society, if we have strong and successful youths, we will
have the best society, the best nation and be the best country. Therefore the
youths should be prioritized and given an upper hand by both the Gov’t and
society in every matter.
