Experience at NYCCC 3
As I reminiscence on the long strenuous days and organizing meetings at NCA boardroom, that were part of the organizing of the 3rd National Youth Conference on Climate Change, I smile and tell myself, it was a wonderful experience.
A few hitches emerged when it came to fundraising for this worthy cause that affected advance purchases of both Stationery and Publicity materials i.e. Banner, Brochures, Posters and T-shirts. Am still glad that even after getting four Quotations from different Creative Companies that were requirements from logistics Committee, all present were in agreement with our choice (Wendy and I) of service procurement from Chez Promotions Ltd. They managed to make us some of the best high quality merchandise I have not seen in a long time, in the shortest time possible. Thank God for that.
The Stationery selection was done from different Stockists and Seal Honey had the best deal for buying in bulk.
It was nice seeing the smiles as we appreciated the panelists and all participants in attendance with T-shirts.
The wealth of knowledge packed in the participant’s Information Packs and those collected from the Side Events Exhibition will go a long way in cementing their various leadership positions. All this, thanks to CCCU in Office of The Prime Minister- Kenya, Norwegian Church Aid, AGRA, ACTS, UNEP/ DEPI, UNEP/DCPI, TUNZA UNEP and Entrepreneur skills exhibited by Akatsa Creations& Youth in Community Development Organization, Eco-sandals, Mully Children’s Family, President’s Award, World Youth Alliance, St. Johns Community Center, AYICC’s Rural Energy Enterprise Network all went a long way in imparting the youth with environmental sustainable job creation ideas on self-employment.
The Communication’s team was happy that we put our part of the budget allocation to good use.
In between my duties during the Conference on-goings, I did manage to engage with other Youth leaders and also get a word or two from the knowledgeable panelists.
The Kenya Youth Climate Network (KYCN) members in the Organizing committee worked as best as they could helping eachother carry their docket’s well to the last day. Am glad to have been part of them and the Conference.
I would over and over again work with the Communication team members, in this Organizing Committee for another Event Organizing.
