Social Hall is almost Complete

For years on end, the young people of Karuri Ward have pleaded, lobbied and even staged demonstrations in agitation for a social hall. Many talented youth have watched as their talents went to waste due to lack of a place to train and showcase their talents.

In 2004, as a young person, I joined fellow youths in a plan to disrupt the yearly Lasdap meetings of Karuri Town Council to force them to allocate funds for the construction of a social Hall. Although we drove our point home the planned demonstrations were foiled by the presence of police.
However, all those efforts did not bear any fruits as the Town council did not allocate any money for a social hall and as usual the voices of young people were generally ignored.

Lack of a social hall has hampered any efforts towards talent building,  drugs rehabilitation, capacity building and many other community development initiatives. A community social hall can host daily activities that attract youths and take them from idleness, alcoholism and drugs. It would help bring people together for seminars and training.

 

It is a major component in my planned youth / community economic empowerment strategy.

I thank our Heavenly Father that, at last, He has answered our prayers.
I can comfortably report that this most important goal which have eluded the people of Karuri Ward for over 50 years is at an advanced stage of construction. And more good news.             Not only are we going to have a social hall, but the construction has been designed to host the following.
1. A Library
2. A Cyber / Communication center
3’ A Music Studio
4. A Film Studio
5. 3 offices, each for the Youth, Women and Council of elders.
6. A social Hall on the top floor.When complete, these buildings which are all housed in a plot in Karuri will mark the beginning of my planned community socioeconomic transformation for Karuri ward. Its my promise and like all other promises I have made and kept, this one will be my record breaker.
