Meet Trizah Mboya, a student at South Eastern
Kenya University who recently completed her internship at Sadili and is now
back to college. Trizah was a member of Girl Power Clubs while in primary school, and has grown to become a role model to younger school girls who are presently members of Girl Power Clubs. She spent her last long holiday as an intern at Sadili Oval Sports Academy and had the opportunity to interact with the current members of Girl Power Clubs as well as children in other programs. Here is her story:
“My name is Trizah Mboya, a former
intern at Sadili Oval Sports Academy. I came to know about Sadili through their
program Girl Power Clubs Africa back when I was still in class 7 at St.
Michael’s Holy Unity Academy. Throughout the program I learnt a lot during the
sessions that they had in the school. I have been able to learn a lot more
during my internship at Sadili which has also widened my thinking and attitude
on lots of things.
Throughout my internship at Sadili under
the Court of Dreams program, I loved my experience with Mary Rice School- a
school for special needs children. Despite their conditions, these children
were so full of life. Their smiles, their happiness and positive attitude
towards life were a big lesson to me. They taught me that despite any situation
we maybe in life, we should always appreciate and love life. The court of
dreams program has also been helpful as I engaged in data entry and also data
collection which was really a fun thing to do and teaching of the daily lives.
I have also been able to learn tennis as a sport which was one of the things I
least expected to develop an interest in, but I have found it as a great and
now as one of my favorite games. I have experienced a lot through the programs
they have been conducting. The most exciting and important part is the relation
with the people in the community. Although it was a challenge at first, I found
it more exciting since it also gave me the tips of handling different people,
accepting and appreciating the people living around us. This has made me strong
and I have learnt to persevere more and also be ready to work in any
environment.
Under Girl Power program I also had
the chance to talk to girls like me and share different experiences of our daily
lives. Women empower each other. I learnt a lot from the girls as we would talk
openly of every situation we’ve faced as girls. I must admit that I learnt from
the girls from their questions and answers. The different topics we shared like Leadership, Menstruation, Discipline among others
showed impact afterwards from the girls. I loved their company and how they always there for one one another, fighting challenges together.
Sadili has raised a platform in my
life as I went through new discoveries, meeting new people and engaging with
the community. I thank Sadili for inviting me in their programmes to work with
them and gain good experiences from the programs. I am looking forward to
practicing everything I learnt while at Sadili in my daily life, especially when it comes to working
with children.”
Trizah's hard work and dedication during her internship at Sadili was always evident and that explains her success and ease with working with young people. We hope to see her do even more to her community in future.
We are always proud to see Girl Power Club members grow into ladies who are out to change the world, even in little ways!
