My name is Kaigwara Jeremiah Ng’ang’a, I served the Egerton University Njoro Campus Christian Union and KMTC-Molo Christian union. I give thanks to God for His grace to serve as a STEM staff. The 8 months have been rich with experiences that have shaped my character.
I was excited to join STEM because I had interacted closely with many STEM staff, including my close friends who had gone through the program. I was privileged to participate in the Interact program as a host to a Norwegian exchange student, who became a friend and a brother. I learned a lot about Norway and we shared enjoyable experiences together. I was inspired by the rich history of Christianity in Norway. This convinced me that Christianity is capable to instill integrity in our nation.
Prayer, bible reading, and journaling have become a daily habit which has benefited my growth spiritually. Being an electioneering year the Eneza Amani campaign helped me appreciate; that my role in being an active citizen is committed to participating accordingly whenever called upon and prayerfully considering pursuing public service.
My leadership skills have grown by mentoring students and participating in training offered by FOCUS. My team leader was of great encouragement to me. I drew valuable lessons on resource mobilization and family leadership from him. I thank God and pray for my partners who prayed for me and supported me financially, they were used by God to supply His ministry.
I give thanks to God for the opportunity to serve another year in FOCUS as a STEM staff for the University of Nairobi- Lower Kabete Campus and in the Resource Mobilization Department.
