A total of 156 students from Bondeni primary school became the second batch of Anti-corruption graduates after Grasam high school. The program uses football to teach anti-corruption values to youth aged 12-20 years and it’s being implemented by VAP’s Anti corruption crusaders (ACC).Graduate students are expected to teach their peers and community through formal and informal educational sessions. The introduction of the program at Bondeni school was received with lots of excitement both from the teachers and students.
"We are so excited to have the program in this school and we believe that this has really shaped the minds of our future leaders with integrity skills." Said Mr. Francis Mwanzo,the head teacher of Bondeni school." The program has really impacted my life and I look forward to sharing the knowledge with my peers. With the integrity knowledge that I got, we can make this country a better place to live and be great leaders."Said Daniel Mutio grade 4 student at Bondeni primary school.
During the graduation, Bondeni school had invited the principal of Mcedo primary school (a neighbor school) as a guest who expressed the interest of having the program in his school."Am so touched with this program and I would like to invite you to work with my school." Said the principal.
After the graduation of Mcedo,VAP's Anti corruption crusaders will be taking the Anti-corruption program to Mcedo primary school. Mcedo is a school centered in the middle of Mathare slum which has a population of 300,000 people faced with a myriad of challenges both social and economic."We are looking forward to working with Mcedo and hope to learn alot from each other and We would as well like to thank each and every person for their generous contribution towards`the support of our program.." Said Charles Otieno,VAP's program officer.
