The Girl Power Programme and the Boys 2 Men Initiative held an important conference on the 19th March 2011, for 120 leaders from 28 selected schools. This conference, to which 2 media houses were invited, covered the Kenyan Constitution and how the youth can take advantage of it. The event began at 9.30 a.m and ended at 2.30 p.m. Lunch and a refreshment break were offered. The programme for the day was run by former PLDP Programme graduates, trained young men and women for leadership and political office, and some top notch lawyers in the city. Kenya is at a very unique time in our history, when we are making far-reaching decisions related to our constitution that will decide our future for decades to some. The school-going youth must not be left out, and was a great opportunity for those who attend, to learn about the new Kenya Constitution, why they must protect it, how they can take advantage of it for their future. Teachers, coaches and referees were included in the open conference to ensure that they would be able to get important feelings.
