Letter from the President.

We dream of an AIESEC which is addressing the world`s needs through its projects together with like-minded organizations. We dream of an AIESEC which is fast in responding to world trends. We dream of an AIESEC where its members think outside of the box, come up with innovative ideas and act upon them. And therefore we dream of a world where physical or virtual engagement with AIESEC has no limits.

A culture of learning will be defined by a workplace that empowers their people to always seek for confinuous improvement and learnings — it is a culture that learns from mistakes and seeks to always grow from it. It is a departure from an execution culture that was heavily focused on following rules and procedures. Millennials are looking for workplaces that enable them to solve tough challenges and apply a more entrepreneurial approach to work. Millennial demands for a challenging workplace will push employers to reconsider job descriptions and responsibilities that go beyond just the mere targets. This is what we define as fulfillment of ones potential.

As employment markets get more competitive and oversaturated with degrees and diplomas, higher- education becomes the only logical step. YouthSpeak participants see university as a means to a career, and as a source of knowledge – but is this what education should be? Have universities and colleges been industrialised to produce workers and followers instead of thinkers and leaders. A debatable issue, but one that sheds light on the need for balance. Higher-education should not only arm students and youth with an arsenal of skills and knowledge, but to lead them on a journey of higher thought and critical thinking. Leaders who can learn, and then question what they learn is fundamental in progressing human and technological advancement – but it all begins with the minds of youth, and how we mould them.

When co-creating our team identity, we really wanted to get to the core of what exactly it is we do as an organization, while incorporating the very thing we were bringing to the table as a team. Thus the name EB Phoenix was born; a symbolic meaning of ‘rising from the ashes’ to signify our rebirth as an LC. We were very passionate about achievement and results and this could be easily picked up from our team purpose This is just but part of the story of a youth leadership movement which believed that they don`t have to be great to start but they have to start to be great. Thank you to everyone who played a part to this intense leadership experiences.

DENNIS TUGEE LOCAL COMMITTEE PRESIDENT 2016/17

People.

Member and leadership development was a focus area for us. From the specific targets under this, we were able to execute all 3 levels of AIESEC Academy with help from the national office and during our main conference (Local Committee Training & Motivation Seminar) where we had various alumni come and help us facilitate various sessions.

60 members helped us achieve our goals and impact by the end of the year with a 90% retention rate and with 200+ on engagement with AIESEC establishing a solid value based recruitment with quarterly evaluation.

Mission Statement.

Planet.

Team Colour.

Through the collaboration with our various entities and the work of all members we were able to realize 180 exchanges within the term, the highest by AIESEC in UoN yet. In both incoming and outgoing exchange we managed a combined measure of impact of 8500 lives.

TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP THROUGH INTENSE EXPERIENCES AND A CULTURE OF ACHIEVEMENT

Profit .

We were able to provide affordable accommodation for most interns through our Global Homes initiative, saving initiatives through #Wekaweka and affordable subsidies to travel and insurance costs through the Dabo Dabo Campaign. These are part of the unique investments additions to the normal conferences, and events we invest in both our members and exchange participants. At the end we were able to meet 80% of of our budget goals.

Quality Experiences for all our EPs Holding a Re-Integration All our EPs have gone through the due Global Village was a great success as EPs were able to integrate with the rest of the members An audit of the TN takers was successfully conducted which will guide how we ensure we deliver high quality experiences for winter.

As of 30th November 2016, we have been able to achieve 83 realizations for the year. We can attribute majority of this success to EP referrals and early promotion of opportunities.

We were also able to reduce the cost of accommodation which enabled us to have more East African interns.

Majority of the operations were streamlined including the matching process and project flow. All our partners have even able to ensure that all interns perform their assigned and prearranged tasks.

WAY FORWARD

•

Every time I visit this place, I feel more rejuvenated, more focused, much more compassionate than I did before. I get to listen and share special little moments with the organization's directors and children; which means the world to me. I get to learn about life's different journeys and lessons from these wonderful people, who even despite living destitute lives, still have a fire burning in them: a hope that never dies.

•

Quality Experiences for all our EPs through holding a Re-Integration Seminar every peak and focusing on ensuring there is value delivery Sustainability of the portfolio has been an uphill task due to the inability of the partners to pay the TN fees. However, in the course of the year, the financial model was reversed and interns pay for their project fees. It is advised to ensure that all payments of these fees are made within the first 3 days of arrival of the intern in order to avoid missed payments or under budgeting by the interns.

Conversion of the open applications to approvals has been quite low. Due to either laziness or delayed responses. Misinformation to the interns on some matters has caused some of the interns to be under-budgeted for project fee payment or have a general misinterpretation of the accommodation conditions and rules. It is advised to have all comprehensive information to interns beforehand.

A large team has not been as successful at converting the anticipated goal therefore it is recommended to have a small close-knit team that bonds as much as possible. It is also recommended to have more EP-LC interactions as this will definitely lead to more referrals.

Focus on Value Delivery

We've been able to move beyond simply executing exchange operations. Rather, our purpose is to provide better value to customers! It's about understanding the leadership journey young people go through

INCOING GLOBAL VOLUNTEERS

Today (January 11TH 2017) I spent my afternoon with my successor Wanjiku Waithaka in Mathare visiting the projects I have been overseeing for the past two years.

I get to learn how to be selfless from individuals who have given their whole lives to help children day in and day out without expecting anything in return. That in whatever way you give to the world it goes a long way for someone out there. Indeed, one man's trash is another's treasure. Take for example those pens, books and pencils that we often throw out or handle carelessly because who cares? You can afford to buy a new pen or a new book.

This experience is usually a reminder for me to be grateful for life's blessings and to be conscious about the attitude I choose to have towards life. To be conscious about everything I buy or throw out. Time and again, to my friends, I often say that if it weren't for these experiences I wouldn't have discovered what I am passionate about. I wouldn't be the same person I am now. I would be a lost soul in a huge world that forces us to be indifferent.

And that's why I would like to thank AIESEC as a whole for giving me this gift. Thank you to all the volunteers who have brought these projects to where they are right now. You gave your time and your money selflessly for the children and women and trusted that AIESEC in University of Nairobi would be that platform for you to change the world. Thank you to my team which has worked tirelessly to make sure that the projects run smoothly. ‘Y'all’ know how stressful it has been but you made it possible. Thank you all for sticking by me and believing that I could bring a difference. The world thanks you for making it a better place.

Members were the main target for this initiative. We had 54 members signing up for the initiative and 32 hosting.

Much focus was on interns from the East Africa Region.

Planet Through this initiative, the number of interns for winter peak increased. This enabled us increased the impact in the various communities.

Profit We were able to provide affordable accommodation for Rwandan & Brazilian interns and as well providing free accommodation for some interns during both the summer and winter peak.

INCOING GLOBAL VOLUNTEERS

In collaboration with the Global Goals we aim to work for goal number 1: Zero Poverty; End poverty in all its forms everywhere.

Women 2 Business This project is a partnership with Mama Africa Pendo which is a community based organization whose mission is to create a strong resilient community through support and capacity building for economic and social enhancement among vulnerable families in Mathare slum.

EXCHANGE PARTNER OF THE YEAR AWARD

Targets 1.1 By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day.

1.2 By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.

1.4 By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance Why do we do this project?

Living under $1 a day in Mathare is quite common and this affects the daily running of the families in the slum with regards to food, health care, housing & sanitation and education.

This project aims to uplift the women by providing financial and entrepreneurial solutions and educating the vulnerable children through sponsors thereby slowly eradicating poverty.

In collaboration with the Global Goals we aim to work for goal number 3: Good Health; Ensure healthy lives and promote well being for all at all ages.

Medical Volunteer Project whose focus is on the underprivileged community in Mathare slum most of whom cannot afford proper health care. This project aims to provide doctors and nurses to assist and treat the community members.

Community Counsellor

This project is also based in Mathare slum. Many community members especially women and young students suffering from HIV/AIDS, gender based violence and physical abuse form the majority of the client base.

Preschool Counsellor

Project based in Ruiru, the outskirts of Nairobi, at a home for abandoned and abused children. The intern will practice art, play therapy and any other acceptable form of therapy to assist in holistic healing.

Exchange Participants who worked on the project: Measure of impact

INCOING GLOBAL VOLUNTEERS

Targets 3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases 3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and wellbeing.

3.7 By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes.

Why do we do these projects?

Mathare being one of Africa’s largest slum, proper health care is highly unaffordable. This results in a staggering increase in the spread of HIV/AIDS, unwanted pregnancies and other communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The project’s task is to create awareness on general hygiene, sanitation, mental health and proper reproductive health practices ,increase public information and education and eventually the community’s welfare.

In collaboration with the Global Goals we aim to work for goal number 4: Quality Education; Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all.

Reach to Teach Project whose focus is on underprivileged children in Mathare slum in primary and secondary school. The subjects of discussion include but not limited to Mathematics, Sciences, English and Social Studies.

The intern will work hand in hand with the teachers based on the curriculum at hand to improve the problematic areas for the students.

Teach in Preschool

Project based in Ruiru, the outskirts of Nairobi, at a home for abandoned and abused children. The children are aged between 1 and 6 years of age. This is an early childhood development program meant to promote a global learning environment and a holistic approach to education.

Exchange Participants who worked on the project: Measure of impact

Targets 4.1 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.

4.2 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education.

4.5 By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations.

Why do we do these projects?

These projects come in to bridge the educational gap by providing knowledge and skills not only centred on the country's education system, but also to enable the underprivileged and affected learners to have a holistic and positive education in order to break the vicious cycle of poverty.

It is important that our students understand the importance of education in bettering their lives and that of their families.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Quality Experiences for all our EPs Share exchange experiences

•

Most opportunities prefer EPs that have not graduated yet. Most of our EPs have graduated.

Bias among EPs over certain opportunities yet not all qualify for the `premium` internships. The next team should source for qualified EPs.

The Outgoing Exchange team is in charge of recruitment of exchange participants and sending them to work on community development projects as well as professional internships outside the country. The team is made up of the OGV and OGT team which stands for outgoing global volunteer and outgoing global talent respectively.

The team was made of 15 members in total.

The year started with a rocky start as I had to let go of 2 of my members in the first quarter, one of the toughest decisions I made during my whole term. In the second quarter, the school was shut down after the strike and this was definitely a bottleneck to our momentum. However, we countered this by having an amazing Super OPS at PAWA 254; this really helped us get exchange participants during that tough period and not miss our summer peak which unlike last year was our biggest peak.

On the other hand, there were really amazing highlights. The team was able to do a cumulative of 76 exchanges in total. 63 for the volunteer program and 14 for the professional internship program. ICEA Lion also became an amazing partner of the team since it offered cheap insurance for our exchange participants. Last but not least, the “X_Force Team” was crowned the best portfolio in the LC. The team really grew and I believe it had an intense experience.

The Exchange Process

Dabo Dabo Initiative Sign up Online AIESEC in University of Nairobi strives to send as many people as it can for its exchange programmes and the greatest struggle for most people is finances and that’s how the Dabo Dabo campaign came about, to ease part of the exchange cost. I had never had an interest in any exchange portfolio till I was asked to join Dabo Dabo and being approached by one Mr. Kennedy Ndung’u is a great honour that doesn’t find its way every once in a while. Yes we wanted to get those numbers but there was a.more greater thing than all of us. The importance of team work and friendship. I learnt how valuable vulnerability is and to be okay with my weaknesses despite the criticism. I held the hope of Mr. Duncan Magana of achieving 110 realisations for summer peak. It would be a great ending to say we achieved this number but unfortunately we didn’t.

But one thing I know is that we did our best and Dabo Dabo is one of the reason I applied for membership in the OGX portfolio because I am not done yet and I dare to dream. Through my experience in Dabo Dabo, I want to be of service to others, to carry out our core-business with as much passion and enthusiasm as I possibly can because people need this experiences, that’s the only way our objective, peace and humankind potential will be fulfilled.

One thing to remember, the world owes us nothing but we owe it everything.

Parent’s Day did not kick off due to poor planning.

As for next year, it should take place within the first quarter in order to have parents on board with AIESEC early on. he Mentorship Programme had too many loopholes in practice and should be tested out with a few alumni before the next term begins in order to have a better understanding of how it will work.

The Tribe System was launched but was ineffective in operation. It should instead be incorporated into all LC operations and activities in order to function well, and introduced as soon as members are placed in teams.

Members still do not take up exchange readily, even with RnR incentives introduced. IXP numbers are at 40% yet only 6 have gone on exchange during the year. More emphasis should be placed on IXP especially in Q1 as members join the organization.

GOALS FOR THE YEAR 1.

The Talent Management team of 2017 was made up of 5 individuals. Our greatest responsibility within the LC was to ensure that we recruited the right people and developed them, ultimately ensuring that all AUON members had intense leadership experiences.

PRODUCTIVITY

2016

GOALS ACHIEVED • •

•

•

The AIESEC Academy was implemented into the local talent education cycle and greatly helped with member knowledge and alumni engagement.

MSR (Member Status Review) was restructured to prove more efficient in tracking growth of members quarterly and was integrated with a membership survey in order to gauge individual experiences more effectively.

The process of joining the organization is also much more streamlined, with an established database for EwA that can be used as a source of workforce to strengthen operations. - Implementation of the Team Minimum Culture has improved greatly, with TLs more aware of their responsibility in creating quality leadership experiences.

OC experiences this year have undoubtedly been a major contribution to leadership pipelining and have even brought forth some of the members of the EB 17.

Team Standards & Value Based Recruitment People decisions are the ultimate, probably the only control of an organization. So, how then do we get, develop and keep them?

*

Seeing that membership growth and development was a key LC focus for 2017, we knew we had a challenging task on our hands. Our strategies lay in talent capacity and quality experiences, and through the various initiatives we carried out, including implementation of AIESEC Academy, intense OC experiences, impactful conference experiences, facilitation of MSS agenda and refined MSR criteria, we were able to have members go through an intense inner and outer journey.

At the beginning of the year, we recruited 81 members in total, including the EB. We however had approximately 50 active members at the beginning of Q3 and these members can be said to have majorly contributed to the achievements of 2017. As a testament of leadership pipelining, which has been a key highlight this year, we had 17 applications for EB 17/18, out of which 9 made it to the end. We have also had 25 members take up local OC roles which undoubtedly were a major contribution to membership development this year.

This year has been one full of endless ups and downs, opportunities for growth and not forgetting the unforgettable memories. I will forever be grateful to not only my team, but to the larger AUON family for granting me the opportunity to serve and explore my leadership potential as I did so.

Thank you.

For many students around the world, educafional experiences are sfill designed heavily around formal learning, while the preferences of today’s youth are centered around experienfial learning. This shih will enable them to acquire more pracfical and soh skills through greater social interacfion with others and develop important teamwork, communicafion and crifical thinking skills that employers value.

For both educators and employers, this change of preference will lead to more effecfive educafional experiences. Students will be more prepared for what awaits and will develop necessary skills and behaviours needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Learning needs to go beyond classrooms, it Needs to enable millennials to learn by doing, access Strong social networks and performance feedback The majority of millennials have stated that experiential learning is their most preferred method of developing new skills. In this 70-20-10 model, 70% of the learning and developing includes volunteering experiences and internships, the 20% includes mentors, managers, and peers, and the last 10% includes classrooms and formal learning environments with set curriculums.

The internal communications were much improved upon through various initiatives such as the AIESEC diary and reintroductions of the quarterly members’ newsletter.

External communications was also improved upon through our social media interactions and platforms such as the ADVANTA SmS and mass mailing to our stakeholders.

New platforms that were exploited were the LC website and the YouTube channel to communicate to the external younger generation.

In addition to a focus on the exchange numbers a major development on the HR department had over 40% of the membership sign ups happening through our social media pages.

A track of the exchange numbers is yet to be confirmed.

+45% Market outreach growth on all our platforms

I joined the executive board with an aim of contributing towards the success of the portfolio that literally gave me my whole AIESEC experience.

So my EB journey has been a constant self discovery path that I do not regret taking. I have learnt quite a lot about myself while at the same time I have been able to give my contribution towards the success of my team and my LC at large.

As I once told my successor, being in MaC gave me the opportunity to lay a foundation of the culture I would want to see in the portfolio three years down the line. I may not have achieved all the goals I had set out to do but I believe that the foundation has been laid for the work ethics that the portfolio should emulate in years to come.

Working with an indispensable team of 8 courageous members, the functionality of Marketing and Communications was defined during the term we were in office and for that I am forever grateful to my team.

Now I leave AIESEC in University of Nairobi believing that indeed one can only be the master of his/her fate and indeed the captain of his/her soul.

“Global Volunteer” is an opportunity for a young person to develop leadership qualities by living a cross-cultural volunteer experience. In the product a young person volunteers abroad on social impact projects that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

16th March 2016

MARKETING & COMMUNICATION

We partner with academic institutions, civil society organizations, private sector and the government to provide to young people global volunteer experiences on projects contributing to the SDGs, through which young people develop themselves while impacting local communities and organizations.

The purpose of aligning to SDG is not only to be more relevant in what we do but also considering that the SDGs will be shaping the global business plan. With this, AIESEC wants to be in the center of this new big trend that will be shaping the world. However, we do not forget our main core is leadership development.

Youth4GG campaign brings together a concrete call to action – how will we shape our actions towards contributing directly to the achievement of the SDGs?

YouthSpeak is an AIESEC International project. As AIESEC we endlessly seek to consolidate the voices of young people across the globe. This initiative was run in over 128 countries around the world. AIESEC in Kenya being one of the AIESEC entities also actively took part in this project. Globally we were able to gather over 160,000 voice of young people speaking up for the kind of world they envision.

Our contribution to the above stated figure was 3978 responses from young Kenyans. AIESEC in UON represemting University of Nairobi had 1254 responses

The YouthSpeak Survey collects youth insights around the world to understand better what young people care about. This survey will provide decision makers (companies, the government, organizations, AIESECers) with key insights to generate projects and actions to impact the world.

The more responses we get, the more credible we are.

The YouthSpeak Insights is the report that comes out of the YouthSpeak Survey and allows AIESEC and the world to take decisions that influence strategy and operations.

We, as an organization, are in charge of making this insights available to the world.

The more reach we get, the more credible we become.

The YouthSpeak Forum is a premiere event that brings together both young and senior leaders to form a diverse cross-sector and multi-generational space for inspiring conversations around pressing global issues. The forum aims to create an environment to gain new perspectives to create actionable outcomes and projects to push the world forward.

The more attendees we get, the more credible we become.

The more AIESEC projects we implement, the bigger impact we have.

We look for companies and organizations willing to sponsor AIESEC projects that will be created during the Action space and executed after the YouthSpeak Forum. Projects should be aligned to the themes tackled in the YouthSpeak Forum

However, the little things we did together as a collaborative team to grow the entity, more so the members of the entity, has set the stone rolling! I am excited to see how they will bloom in the coming years. Getting to reignite and strengthen the partnership we have with the varsity this year had its challenges but it was all worth it!I also cannot forget to applaud my fellow team mates, EB Phoenix for the unfathomable support and team work which made the year fun and easier!!!I am grateful for this opportunity to serve.

CHALLENGES

Our expansion, Chuka University has grown by 33% in voluntary exchanges.

The members of the expansion have increased and undergone training learning about all performing functions of the organization with emphasis on the exchange portfolio.

University of Nairobi campus reach out has increased this year due to recruitment drives and Merry-go-Round MSS held in Parklands, Kabete and Chiromo.

The improved partnership with the university has borne many fruits including financial support for two conferences and an in-kind donation to two events.

WAY FORWARD

My past year being a representative of Expansions and University Relations portfolio in the EB Phoenix has taught me so much. The biggest lesson being that it's the small things that make a whole big ripple effect. Growing an expansion (in another county) from almost nothing is no easy task and I had to learn a lot on the job.

• • •

Not being able to at least have a touchpoint with all University of Nairobi campuses Indefinite closure of Chuka university which affected our summer peak strategy for voluntary exchange Virtual interaction with Chuka members as opposed to face-face throughout the year.

Increased university interaction with campus expansion within the university The charpter needs to increase its influence in the univeristy so as to be able to be recognized as the first choice partner due to our ability to develop responsible and entrepreneurial leadership.

Next would be to diruptively grow within the University of Nairobi campus.

Education is consistently the top ranked global issue In parallel with the United Nations Millennium Campaign MY World survey, taken by over 7.6 million people from 194 countries, we compared our findings with from with the 4.4M 16 - 30 year old youth respondents in the YouthSpeak survey to find the trends.

UNIVERSITY RELATIONS & EXPANSIONS

One of the greatest challenges that the world faces today is the dilemma of young people finding it difficult to get a job. Young people are starting to realize that skills being taught in the classroom do not necessarily reflect the skills employers are looking for and thus guarantee employment. Even if young people manage to find work, it does not guarantee a career or upward mobility. However, education is still the greatest single investment to ensuring a clear way out of poverty. Educational evolution must keep pace with the changing nature of work and the emerging skill sets required for successful employment. Education must be viewed not simply as a finite time in a person’s life but a continuum that is nurtured and cultivated over a lifetime. Such a paradigm shift enables young people to apply for a broad range of jobs that yield greater pay and chances for upward mobility, gain promotions, change careers, and obtain skills that boost their performance over a lifetime.

That would perhaps explain why youth respondents of the AIESEC Youth Speak survey were most passionate about attaining Quality Education compared to the other Sustainable Development Goals.

AIESEC needs strategic collaboration to enable this and as we strive to grow disruptively and being accessible everyone everywhere as part of our mid-term ambition. AIESEC in University of Nairobi realized that the university is definitely its biggest and most influential partner. It is for this reason we endeavour to make significant impact and increased engagement is just the first few steps to getting its voice heard.

2 REALIZATIONS Growth mindset.

3 GEs RAIESED | 1 GE REALIZATION

When I first joined AIESEC, I was slightly overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the exuberance, by the acronyms (which I barely understood or could keep up with), by the constant talk of exchange and numbers, all of which was new and evidently unfamiliar to me. And for a while, I wasn't keen on remaining in AIESEC. But I stayed, and actively begun learning about AIESEC and the unending and constantly changing acronyms, and when it came to taking up EB roles, I felt I was ready. LCVP iGIP, the title sounded good, and more so important. And so I applied, went through the reviews and elections and thought plans made would just flow throughout the year.

5 COMPLETIONS

GOALS FOR THE YEAR • • • • •

10 GE realizations 2 successful projects to help improve IGV numbers running for winter peak The projects raised should be financially sustainable Proper servicing of our existing professional exchange partners

Open day organized in collaboration with Centurion Systems spearheaded by our Global Talent intern

Growth mindset.

You're never adequately prepared for the responsibility that comes with that title, and while I was initially very goal oriented, I learnt fast, that the goal may change, greatly affecting the journey.

Growth mindset.

GOALS ACHIEVED • • • • •

Global talent realizations with Barclays and reraise due to good servicing Most pending Barclays debts collected Projects financially sustainable with UNEP finally closing in as a financial partner for Forestry project.

Projects: a) Ment-A-Teen, b) Forestry of which both are on the system. Forestry has a full green light for the team

A big part of my journey in AIESEC has challenged how I think, what's most important and my perspective on varying topics. And with this came growth. Don't be afraid to grow, and while goals are very important, the journey is really what matters most.

Laser focus WAY FORWARD It`s for this reason that the portfolio for the coming year will be split as they are both based on two different products and the LC is now mature enough to take up the two products under different portfolio. In the same tune of essentialism, it is key to lock down 3 lucrative industries to raise traineeships

GOAL: KES 1,000,000 KES 630,000

The main BD focus for the year was to have a solid foundation with the partners by ensuring all partnerships are aligned to our objectives.

Partnerships with Africair Travel and Hellofood failed to pick up.

Department of Sociology is yet to fully confirm their position although it looks quite promising if deal fully goes through Difficulty in getting organisations to take up IGV interns Low rate of raising exchange partners.

Poor responses from contacted companies and NGOs. Previous lack of clear understanding on workings of BD and GE.

A culture of sales would definitely ensure that all members know our products in and out as well forster levrage and networking

Support all exchange portfolios with special focus on GE raising Successful events Improved sales culture Fully engage the university administration and other clubs and organizations

Business Development is tasked with handling all external partnerships with the organisation and ensuring the partnerships are aligned to the organisational goals of AIESEC and the vision of the LC

This meant that all events and projects would only partner with organisations that aligned to the purpose of each. This made it possible to build on partnerships that will be carried into the next year.

As a result we focused on establishing proper Business to Business relationships with the companies and organisation partnered with in the projects we undertook.

As always, this was the biggest conference of the year. It was held from 16th- 19th of June 2016 at Lake Nakuru Flamingo Hotel. 121 people in attendance. This included 99 delegates, 5 organising committee members, 12 facilitators, 4 alumni and 1 conference chair.

The Election conference is one of our most important projects, and this is because it touches on what is at the core of what we do as an organization, LEADERSHIP.

The conference’s main purpose was to induct new members and also passing the AIESEC 2020 vision to the old and new members.

Theme of the conference was ‘My Time Now’ The venue was meant to be at Legacy hotel, however, there was a bottleneck and luckily the conference team were quick on their feet to secure Lake Nakuru Flamingo Hotel.

We received a total sponsorship of Ksh. 120,000 which included Ksh. 70,000 from the University of Nairobi and Ksh. 50,000 from Housing Finance Group.

There were a variety of delegates as we also hosted other local chapters and entities: Kenya Methodist University, Kenyatta University , United States International University - Africa, Moi University and Egerton from Kenya as well as 4 Executive Board Members from AIESEC in the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. This was followed up by a visit to the South African high commission to address immigration concerns and areas of cooperation.

ELECTION CONFERENCE

Parenting a child with a life-threatening illness like cancer can be demanding, while simultaneously raising healthy siblings adds another layer of complexity.“Most of the children do not actually know what they are suffering from at that moment in time,” says Phillip Odiyo, the patient support manager at Faraja Cancer Support Trust, a Nairobi-based non-governmental organisation.

Phillip is a psycho-oncologist with more than seven years experience working with cancer patients in Kenya. He offers psychological support and counseling to cancer patients.

Faraja and AIESEC (International Association of Students in Economic and Commercial Sciences) from the University of Nairobi hold open play time dates every Friday for children with cancer at the Kenyatta National Hospital.

Odiyo says that play and art therapy for children with cancer is key to their recovery. Supportive care improves the patient's physical, psychological, social, and spiritual quality of life. “When we meet up with the children, we teach them how to draw and in most cases ask them to draw different things ranging from why they are there and also their perception to the nurse,” Odiyo explains. “This form of therapy is ideal in small children as it helps us know what the child is actually thinking or feeling and their psychological aspect towards the treatment.”

Dr Melly Elias from the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital says parents of a child who has just been diagnosed with cancer are often overwhelmed by the new demands of the situation.

“Sometimes they feel uncomfortable asking friends and family for assistance,” she says.

Odiyo adds that at KNH, parents have to stay with the children day in day out despite them having other children who also need care at home.

“This turns out challenging as they have to shuttle between home and the hospital which can be quite challenging,” he adds.

Odiyo, who began work with Faraja in 2011 as a volunteer says it is normal for parents who are caring for a child with cancer to feel scared and nervous. “But with planning, you can help your child through his or her treatment, and watch your child return to a normal life,” he adds.

According to the American Cancer Society, parents may think school isn’t safe for their sick child. They might be afraid their child will get infections become overly tired, or might be teased for being different. But it’s important for children to return to school as soon as they can after they’re diagnosed with cancer. Most children see school as more than just a place for learning it is also a place for fun and friendship.

“Most children with cancer can be cured. Every patient is different and the type of cancer, the child's age, and other factors affect how well treatment works. Cancer treatment for young patients can cause unwanted side effects and other problems during and after treatment. Early treatment of cancer symptoms and the side effects of therapy helps patients feel better, stay stronger, and cope with life after cancer,” Odiyo says.

One of the parents with a child at KNH's cancer ward, who asked to be referred by one name, Wanjiru, said if parents feel guilty, they need to talk to someone on the cancer treatment team about their concerns.

“It’s important that they don't let guilty feelings distract them from the many tasks they must face when their child has cancer. Letting anger go, accepting that there may be no one to blame, and finding ways to use the energy to help themselves, their child, and their family,” she said.

Dr Elias explains that cancer is not just one disease. There are many types. Cancer can start in the lungs, the breast, the colon, or even in the blood. Cancers are alike in some ways, but they are different in the ways they grow and spread.

He says every cell in the body has a system that controls its growth, interaction with other cells, and even its life span. When certain cells lose that control and grow in a way that the body can no longer regulate, it is called cancer.

“Cancer is uncommon in children, but it sometimes happens. The most common childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer.

As children enter the teen years, osteosarcama (bone cancer) is more common,” he said.

Leukemias, which are cancers of the bone marrow and blood, are the most common childhood cancers. They account for about 30 per cent of all cancers in children across the world. Acute leukemias can grow quickly, so they need to be treated (typically with chemotherapy) as soon as they are found.

AIESEC participants said that spending time with the children has also helped them. “We should always learn to appreciate what we have however little it is,” said Amanda Yagan, the team leader from AIESEC University of Nairobi.

Her sentiments were echoed by Monicah Kasyoki, a UoN student. Kasyoki says she has been challenged since started to play with the children.

“These children have so much energy and joy that I always look forward to Fridays which is when we visit them,” she said.

Cancer has become an ever growing health issue not just in Africa but in the entire world. More people are suffering from cancer and yet little is done in terms of sensitizing the population. Children are being affected by the disease at a young age and those that come from a poor background can not afford medical care.

Children who are admitted in the hospital stay there over long periods of time and in return miss a lot of school time and a chance to be creative and socialize.

Most of them are as young as 14 years old.

With Crafts for Cure we would like to reach all the children admitted in the hospital at each time and have an impact on about 100 children in the wards. We would like to reach this number by the end of June 2016. Currently Crafts for cure impacts about 35 children each week in the hospital.

We plan to engage the children in art and creative activities that will offer therapeutic healing to the children.

We will use methods learnt by members from different sources and in partnership with Faraja Cancer Support Trust. Interns will work together with the Crafts for Cure team to implement the project and make it successful.

The smile you put on a child’s face has an effect on their tomorrow.

This article was put together by Valarie Ogutu, the then Crafts for Cure coordinator.

CRAFTS FOR CURE

PROJECTS: CSR Spread the Cheer is a AIESEC in UON Corporate Social Responsibility project (CSR) whose main goal is to put smiles on the faces of Children. We try to impact the children at one of the schools where our interns from abroad come to work on projects in; these projects are called. Training Nominees (TNs). On the actual day of Spread the Cheer, AIESEC in UON members take donations to the Children and have a funfilled day with them. These donations include food, books, toys etc. AIESEC in The University of Nairobi’s Spread the Cheer event was held on Saturday, December 3rd 2016 at Gospel Furthering Bible Church.

The Organizing Committee (OC) came to be on Friday, September 30th under the guidance of Valerie Ogutu as event manager and Nabil Al-Beiti as Organizing Committee President. The team comprised of seven members.

We had a combined contribution of KES 36,200 in form of cash sponsorship on top of the donations. A simple set up was established. With the Church being decorated on the inside, a stage area and seats set up inside and a space outside utilized for children’s games. The day was spent playing with the children, providing snacks and food and delivery of all donations received during the period.

After the event was done, the OC made sure to conduct a financial audit of the event. As the event was a CSR initiative, there was no objective to make profit and thus all the money collected went into giving back to the children and the project.

Event partners included : University of Nairobi Alpine Coolers

ABOUT AIESEC in The University of Nairobi, 4th Annual Stakeholders’ dinner was held on Friday, November 25th 2016 at The Fairview Hotel Limited. The aim was to portray the successes of the year that was as well as to appreciate all the stakeholders that played a part in all this. The Organizing Committee (OC) came to be on 9th March 2016 under the guidance of Wangui Mungai as conference manager.

The set up for the dinner and the cocktails was spectacular thanks to the banqueting team and the organizing committee. The organizing committee was also in charge of the registration of the attendees and this helped in ensuring all the attendees had paid. The following are pointers on what could have been done better: • Time keeping so as to adhere to the planned time, especially the commencement of the event as it started one and a half hours later.

• Test display material and sound system prior to guests’ arrival at the venue.

The OC took this event as a challenge to not only be financially sustainable but to also execute an event that will climaxed the year. Sponsorship and ticket sales helped meet the budget with an attendance of 100 which comprised of our members, parents, alumni, board members and friends.

Gala Awards.

The dinner is geared towards recognizing all the stakeholders we have worked with throughout the year. These are: Parents, Members, Partners, Alumni, Board of Advisors, AIESEC Kenya.

Members as well as other interested university students. It also is a platform to recognize exemplary performers in the course of the year, to show the activities that the local chapter has engaged in in the course of the year as well as the milestones achieved.

This served as our final and main RNR platform for those simply exemplary and for this they did get recognition and awards.

There is this one beautiful thing that I’ve learned to embrace; Fear of the unknown. Traveling alone to a new place, without knowing anyone or what to expect is one thing I was not as comfortable with; more so, to a Gulf country. It took much convincing before I was on board; You have no idea how anxious I was.

For starters, I am an introvert extroverted (though I barely seem). Opening up to new people or interacting with them at first is one of my null points. The fear of the unknown was greater than the excitement of getting to explore. Little did I know that I’ve been living in a comfort zone that I didn’t know existed; and now,it was about to be broke.

Bahrain is a beautiful place, with beautiful people and amazing vibe; more friendly and warm than I expected.

Adapting to the place and getting a chance to intern at Al Wasaam international school, as part of my one month project, is so far an interesting and learning experience. I have been teaching and assisting in English and Economics for the High school classes,Grade 9 to Grade 13. I know right! Who knew I could actually teach? That was the whole idea yet I hadn’t seen it all this time….breaking the chains….the unseen ”comfort zone”. Taking part in activities I never thought I would. Unlearning to learn new.

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate is that we hardly see the clear picture unless we start to paint the drawing. More so, we really never how much we do not know till we learn to listen, interact, share, observe and take part. This nurtures us physiologically , emotionally, spiritually, socially and morally. ~ Something I prefer naming as the ;GRACEFUL GROWTH* One thing I always hope and pray is that as much as I am a fashion blogger, I do not want to be vague. Every single time I try to come up with something learn-able in as much as it maybe a style post. From the blog titles, to a of bit concept (gratitude,love, new beginnings etc) and more so the written bits. Always try to take something with you , the same I draw inspiration from what I learn and share and from our small interaction on the comment section and social media pages.

Short story; There is this one funny guy, Taicho Munaita, a current vice president in AIESEC University of Nairobi. He had gone for exchange earlier still in Bahrain and I had to ask him to give me his honest opinion about the whole experience. His response was and I quote: ”Honest take: It bloodly changed my life” end of quote. To me, that was a bit exaggerated at the time. I honestly could not comprehend what he meant…but gladly, now I do and I am grateful for that.

If you’re in campus or recently graduated, take up the task. Sign up for exchange. Get to learn, explore, face new challenges and of course have FUN! Yow, at the end of the day, we all want to look back at these days in our youth and I’m pretty sure we’d all want them to be amazing wonderful moments. The power lies in us, always!

Moreover, charity begins at home. I’ve always stressed, it’s the little things that matter most. As my mom says ‘vitu ndogo ndogo’ , you would be surprised at how much they matter.

Anyway loves,here are some few snaps from my phone(more on Instagram:@joliethrone. However, I still have more to share with you….next post in a few days or probably few hours.

“Africa has always been one of my dream destinations. The beauty of the wildlife and the diverse culture of Africa is very attractive to me. But I have never thought going on an adventure to Africa on my own until I saw the project, Zaidi ya Dreams.

Zaidi ya Dreams, meaning beyond the dreams, is a children’s home which takes in children who were either abandoned or abused. I was working at the children’s home as a counselor and mostly doing play therapy with the kids. The kids are about 1 to 5 years old and they are all very lively in general. It was a bit tough for me at the beginning because I wasn’t someone familiar to the kids which make perfect sense that they wouldn’t so opened to me. As time goes by, they just talk as if they are treating you as their best friends. The fact that the kids are so innocent and so honest about how much they love me has melted my heart. When time got closer to the end of my internship, I had become so close to the kids. I was really sad for me to leave them because this was the time when I could actually starting doing more for the kids, knowing their needs and wants. Six weeks is definitely too short for me to make a real impact for the children’s home. If I had a chance to go back again, I would certainly do.

Apart from my project, Kenya also gave me a very memorable experience. I still remembered the day when I first arrived Kenya. Everything was so new to me. I was so excited but also a bit nervous at the same time because of all those unfamiliar faces and the new environment. Simply being foreigners here catches so much attention which is something that I wasn’t very comfortable with. Then I slowly got used to it and realizing that people in Kenya are generally very friendly. After all, Kenya is just a lovely and beautiful country.

Through this AIESEC exchange, it has opened me up to a whole new world and I got a lot of inspirations about what I should do in the future to make a better world. I’m really glad that I came and lived in Kenya and it is definitely one of the best moments in my life.”

“It had been a loooooong research before I decided to go to Kenya. I was looking for the best cross cultural experience that AIESEC could provide me. I knew Kenya was the best choice for what I was looking for but I was a little worried about the servicing. Will the project be really impactful to the society? To me? Will it be organized? Will the committee pay attention to my experience?

I’m happy I chose Kenya and AIESEC in University of Nairobi.

Before I left Brazil, the AIESECer responsible for me was always in touch with me to keep up with my journey and answer all my questions. Everything was organized and when I arrived in Nairobi, I knew everything I needed to do. Even when the airport company lost my luggage, my buddy from AIESEC helped me to solve it.

My project was to work in Mumo’s school, in Mathare slum, teaching English, Math and Christian Religious Education. The school, made by wood and metal, was surviving just from volunteers and donations. It started with the dream of Christopher (Mumo) to take the kids off the streets and, donation by donation, the dream was consolidated. Some of the kids there just eat the lunch provided by the school for a whole day. But even in that challenging environment, the kids show that it’s just a simple obstacle. When you get in in the school you are received by a wave of hugs and smiles. In every class you can feel the attention of the kids on each word you say. Every homework they do, they prove how brilliant they are and how far they are able to go. Of course I had challenges too: the black board was really small, I just had one book for the entire class and I’m allergic to the dust of the chalk, but, the kids gave me purpose and energy to do the same as they do and just face it.

The kids, the project, the Kenyans, this experience changed me. In Kenya I had the opportunity to be more solution oriented, understand more about myself, care about world issues and I made a lot of friends that make me deeply want to come back again.”

MY AIESEC LEADERSHIP STORY I joined the organization in July 2015 and mine is still a continuing leadership journey that started on the 7 th of July 2015 when I got my first role as Legal Manager of AIESEC in University of Nairobi, and has not come to an end yet (as stated below).

INTEREST à PRACTICE à PURPOSE The above steps define my whole AIESEC career so far and I will define it using the above steps; INTEREST This is the point where everyone joins at, and has no clue what their role is, in the organization and is still trying to get all the acronyms. For me, this was my 2015 July-December where I was, Legal Manager, OGIPTM and OCVP for Amplified Conference2015. It is also the point where I went on exchange and this provided the transition for the ‘PRACTICE’ phase.

PRACTICE This is the experimental phase where you decide to be serious with this ‘thing’ and see where it will take you. I made this decision while I was on exchange, and I also applied to be TL of FLA portfolio. Also, while I was on exchange, I applied to be OCP for LEAD Conference 2016 and this role propelled me to faster get to my ‘PURPOSE’ phase of my cycle.(January-May 2016) PURPOSE This is the single most important phase for every AIESECer, whether as a new member, old member or alumni. If you do not discover your purpose in the organization, then you’ll never be able to give your all to it.

This is my (June 2016- the future) and has been my most intense. I have served the organization in the following previous roles; • Asst. Conference Manager- Amplified 2016 • Conference Facilitator- LCTMS and Amplified 2016, NatConf 2017 • Project Manager- National IGV and AIESEC in UoN (OGV project) In this phase, I got to discover that my purpose in the organization is to empower and develop leadership in others. My key learning point in my AIESEC journey has been the importance of showing up to give and my shift of mindset from focusing on the ‘impact on me’ to focusing on the impact on others. My next step in this leadership journey, is to apply to be MCVP for AIESEC in Kenya and continue with my search for fulfilment. Thank you.

Letter from the President Elect AIESEC in University of Nairobi has come a long way since its inception, and I believe has an even greater journey ahead. Through our ups and downs, we have seen an entity take up responsibility in raising up the leaders of today; leaders who have shown unmatched passion and professional will in the pursuit of being the change they want to see.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the stakeholders of this great entity that have helped shape a great organization in one way or another. To all those who came before me and lit the path ever so brightly, we forever applaud you.

And now as we move into a new era, we only ask that you believe with us and offer your support as we fearlessly break though, continuing to deliver quality and intense leadership experiences through a culture of discipline and fearlessness.

This is our vision for the year ahead, but we cannot do it alone. So let us work hand in hand to to fearlessly pursue that which sets our souls on fire.

History is being read. But it is also being written by those with imagination. Are you ready to take up the challenge?
