Working with young men for change

In May 2007 I was invited to do some work in Oslo, Norway with a project called "Torsdagsklubben" (= The Thursday Club). The project is by and for young men who, for one reason or another, have had to face great challenges in life and have decided to turn their lives away from trouble. The project was initiated by a good friend and colleague of mine, Brother Moses Kuvoame. They guys meet every Thursday to discuss, share and plan projects related to their life situations. I have met the young men many times and have developed a great respect for their willingness to work for change and improvement in a society that does not regard them much.

The work I have been doing with the project has been on motivation, personal development, manhood, life skills, identity and project planning. Im always inspired when Im around these young guys, they remind me that our purpose in life must always be to move towards greater heights of achievements. Big up to Brother Moses Kuvoame for his consistent work!
