In the general monthly community work that was done on the 28th.July.2012, the youth in different associations in Nyamasheke Youth Friends Center (NYFC) with the support of this center helped a poor old lady called Kamagaju.
The Elderly Lady is said to be suffering from Epilepsy and was burned many times due to this disease. She has expressed her gratitude to the Youth who chose to repair her house.
Kamagaju had a 2 bed rooms and a sitting room house of which one of the bedrooms fell apart, the youth renovated this house and cleared this bedroom which had fell. Helping people through community work is one of the things that NYFC teaches the youth in its lessons of patriotism and playing a role to rebuild the country as Janvier Ndanga the coordinator of NYFC explained.
He went on to say that youth decided to always do the community work alone and help one of the poor people in labour work every month though they wish to do it twice a month so that theycan do something tangible in rebuilding the country and the management of NYFC is looking for a way to make their wish implemented.
Because of lack of enough funds, this youth started with their immediate neighbours and those in far sectors will be attended when they get a way to do so. Ndanga told the youth that they should see where the government is going to and then play a role towards making it better since they are many and are capable of working.
He also asked parents to let their children to come to the center after doing their allocated chores to get some teachings about their health and to be taught how to work.
After the community work, the youth were taught about how they can protect themselves from Sexual Transmitted Diseases and AIDS, to prevent unwanted pregnancies, drugs and others that would be dangerous to their health.
