This event is part of a another event, Global Youth Service Day 2009
Changes Rover Crew a youth led organisation under Kiambu Scouts Local association has been selected as a local organizer in Kenya. The organisation has therefore partnered with Ministry of Youth and sports, ministry of health, other youth led groups and faith based organizations in organising a one week expedition camp from 19th to 26th April 2009.
During this camp 360 youth volunteers will collectively participate and engage in community service in all six Divisions of Kiambu East and Kiambu West Districts. About 3000 more youth who will not be a part of the expedition team are expected to join in the activities in their locality.
The activities will include clean ups, tree planting and community sensitization on HIV/AIDS. The climax of the event will be marked by making a donation to Hosanna children’s home for the orphaned.
The expedition team will be flagged off by the permanent Secretary in the ministry of youth on Sunday 19th April 2009 at Madaraka Gardens- Kiambu. After a procession in Kiambu town the team will head to Kiambaa Division, the first camping station.
In each division a scouts’ rover unit will host the team and will coordinate activities as follows:
I. Kiambu Municipality- Diplomats Rover Crew
II. Kiambaa Division- Trakaz Rover Crew
III. Kikuyu Division- Mweteta Rover Crew
IV. Limuru Division-Changes Rover Crew
V. Lari Division- Kamuchege Sea Scouts
VI. Githunguri Division- Waruhiu farm ventures
In each of the activity venue the team will hold a public meeting where the community will be sensitized on the importance of VCT testing and to get people to see themselves personally at risk, understand which behaviors are risky, and take the actions that are appropriate for them.A Voluntary counseling and testing tent will be set up by the ministry of health where community will access the service.
During the closing ceremony key community leaders will address youth and award youths who have made significant contributions to the community.. The theme of the event will be ‘scaling best practices in youth development
