This year MYSA is celebrating its 25th year anniversary and this month theme is celebrating their Heroes and Role models who over the many years have helped the organization be what it is today.
It was a great honor to be acknowledged as one of their heroes and role models during the occasion that was well organized on 29th Sunday 2011. We mingled with the current staff, ex-Mathare united players, volunteers, community representatives, boys and girls of different age groups, friends, founder just to mention but a few.
The climax of the day was the football tournament that we played comprising of 2 girls and 3 boys in each team. The matches were played in group stages and only the winners were to enter into the semi finals. I played in a team called ‘black stars’ which was the finalist, and we were awarded the first prize. I take this opportunity to thank the MYSA fraternity for the great work they are doing in shaping the lives of many youth in the slum through sports and other great programs they have.
