COMMANDOSTARS FOOTBALL CLUB AFFLIATED TO MBUINZAU MATAMBYA MUONZA COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION P.O.BOX 125, KIBWEZI
PREAMBLE FROM THE CHAIRMAN The above mentioned club was started by Joseph Lee Musembih in the year 2000 He started this club starting with players of under 14 years with the assistance of Teacher Mutunga Josiah who by then was a sports Teacher at mbuinzau primary school The primary goals was to keep the youth busy after school and during week-ends since the place was so much invaded by drug abuse among the youth Easily they get Marijuana and miraa from chyullu hills and even mbuinzau hills. As a result of this football club many youths turned up for football activities and drug abuse started fading because some sessions of rehabilitating the youths were carried out during practice time. This club has grown and currently it as a senior team of all ages and there is now problem of funding the club. The only funding member of this club is the founder who is the team manager of the club This club has featured through small leagues, from location level up to provincial levels. It could have reached national level but due to myriad of problems it’s still at the grass root levels. Poor scouting of players in the country has demoralized most of the player especially at these lower levels. Soccer scoters never reach to this grassroots levels and good players end up being good for nothing. It’s my humble request for anybody who may feel touched by our problems to come forward and assist this young people who want to discover their talents in soccer. These young men admire the likes of premier league players, la liga, and bundesliga And most of African national players You may wonder finding big names in the club, who normally pretends to be like the big guns in football. I’m also appealing to the outside world to assist us in modifying this youth to become good players and managers of their own development. The back ground of the entire youth is so poor because their parents earns less than a dollar a day and cannot afford three square meals in a day. Most of this youth come from families where there is no:- 1) food 2) Education 3) Health facilities 4) Infrastructure 5) Water and sanitation 6) Good clothing And among the dangers of these kids are:- 1) Drug abuse 2) Child labor 3) Early pregnancies 4) Early marriages 5) Witchcraft 6) Petty Thieves These youth can be of very much importance if at all they can get support. Especially when they get playing facilities they can be able to discover their talents in sports. I would therefore urge you guys up there to support these little ones. Whoever reads this message, please try how you can help these young boys May God bless you? Pius Musyoka
Word from the team manager It’s my pleasure seeing these young ones excel in their quest for soccer. By the way soccer nowadays pays purely and keeps people busy. It’s also my cry to the youth of the world to assist their counterparts who are desperate and cannot afford to buy themselves playing kits nor can’t their parents do so. I have straggled with commando stars football club since its interception. I have been using my own money to bring up this boys but since both of our backgrounds is poor it has come to an extend whereby situations beyond my measures has forced me to see this club start fading when I can do nothing to savage it. Of late I lost three of my brothers through road accidents and I have to take care of their families with my little resources thus forcing me not to support my beloved youth football club. I would therefore request any well-wisher or sponsor to come up through the will of God And assist this club with either Sports kit, Monetary values etc Feel touched and help these little ones. We are situated at about 250 kilometers southeast of Nairobi on your way to Mombassa the chief seaport of East Africa. This place is called mbuinzau and it is an arid place. People her grow maize, Beans, Cowpeas, Sweetpotatoes but they don’t get good harvest due to very little rain. Among other activities of this place is bee keeping and animal rearing e.g. keeping beef cattle, goats, sheep and rare rabbits May the love of the most high touch you and come to our rescue Kind regards Mr. Joseph lee musembih Team manager.

Came across your profile, I saw that you are planning a horse riding trip in Mongolia. I was in Mongolia in 2005, and fell in love with the country and would love to go back some day, especially to do a horse trek. I may have a chance to go back this summer. It's an amazing country, I'm not an expert, but if you need to know anything I can try to help. I have a few friends living over there right now that'd be able to help out too. Good Luck with the planning and all.
Hi Jenny,
Liked your recent article on East Africa, and this statement on your profile:
I want to make a difference by: Bearing witness and trying to find positive alternatives to The System
Look forward to reading more...
Happy New Year
Hi Jenny, Just thought I'd say hi as I'm also a recently returned volunteer from Uganda and its always nice to talk to people who understand the country. I'm finding it kind of impossible to describe to my friends in the UK inspite of hundreds of photos I've shown them. Whenever someone asks, 'So how was it?' you just don't know where to begin! Any plans to go back? I miss it so much but there are so many other places I need to visit as well... All the best, Charlotte
Hey Jenny, East Africa is definitely a gem. Yeah, we crossed over from Uganda into DRC, checked out the gorillas and then spent some time heading south to Goma before heading into the tranquility of Gisenyi in Rwanda. Looks like you've done some expansive travel over there. Definitely keep up the goodwork and the frames comin.
Cheers
Tim--Sounds good. Boulder, huh? Haven't been myself but have heard fabulous things. Let's definitely get in touch later this spring to see if our schedules might overlap this summer. I'm not positive that I'll still be in Colorado by then--but if I am, some hut-to-hutting would be great.
Peace, Jenny
Jenny, thanks for the note! I've enjoyed your writing also, and look forward to checking out some videos.
Rocky Mountains in July was actually for last year - although I probably will be based in Boulder for a month or two this year also, around July and August. I would love to check out SW Colorado - only drove through once before - and if you're around it would be cool to meet up for some hut-to-hut hiking.
Safe travels -
Tim

La Antigua is typically the first stop for travelers arriving by air to Guatemala, and we were no exception. It was hard not to be charmed by Antigua’s cobblestone streets, its colorful storefronts; if we decide to spend a month learning Spanish, this would be the place for it. The tough part...

I haven't even been back in the States for four months, and I'm already planning my next trip abroad. What happened was this: my boyfriend put together an awesome travel video of our recent trip to India and SE Asia that got some attention. He sold a few clips to Lonely Planet TV, and got enough...

And I'm psyched. I wrap up my volunteering in 2 weeks but before I leave Uganda for good, I get to go on one last trip to Kitgum (northern Uganda) and South Sudan. I know I've been awful about posting stuff about my experience in Uganda...Yeah yeah. This whole blogging thing is a strange and...

If you ever find your way to post-conflict northern Uganda, hit up the New Flavor restaurant in Kitgum, across from the soccer field on the main street. They serve up a mean ground nut sauce, which goes well with rice (minus the small stones they have at Mama Brown's down the road) or sweet...

Yesterday my coworker was attacked by a goat. The offending beast was tethered, clearly to no useful end, in a field we pass through every day on our way to work. It blocked the path; she moved to walk around. It butted; she screamed.
Bruises and welts ensued, as well as a good story...

Rajasthan is the “land of kings,” where every city has a fort, and every fort has a history chock full of daring soldiers and captivating maidens—all the stuff fairy tales are made of.
Udaipur, our first stop in the state, was a fine place for me to live out my long-suppressed princess...

I've been slacking. I could blame the faulty internet on Lamu (how can it be a tropical paradise without broadband?) and the bustle of Nairobi (an additional 100,000 foreigners in town for the World Social Forum has turned the place upside-down). But really? I'm just lazy.
It would be...

Celebrated my birthday in Nairobi in style--watching "Borat" and gorging on Italian food and the local equivalent of Kahlua, Kenya Gold. Oh the joy, the joy...
Now that the celebrations have calmed, we're leaving in a few hours to board an overnight bus to Malindi, on the Kenyan coast....

Days of work, that is. Indeed, in less than a week Randy and I will be dragging our asses out of bed at some ungodly hour to catch a bus to Kenya. The plan is, roughly: spend a month on the beaches of Lamu eating pineapple and watching donkeys, followed by five days at the World Social Forum in...

“They’re delicious,” insists my coworker Kathy, shoving a handful of golden frittered insects under my nose. “Try one.”
The two-inch locusts look like skinny shrimp, complete with tiny black eyeballs and two antennae pointing out. It’s locust season, and sales on these treats are up. I...
