Please tell a story about a time when a person or organization tried to help someone or change something in your community:
Nyali Beach
At the age of twenty five i got an oppotunity to stay in Mombasa an area called Nyali in Mombasa was was so glamarouse and beautiful and i confirmed the swahili saying that 'kuingia Mombasa ni Harusi lakini kutoka ni matanga'. meaning it is enjoyable and easy for one to get into Mombasa bot difficult to leave the place.
However, during my stay in Mombasa i noticed something so bad once when i had visited Nyali beach i saw young girls walk, kiss and do some dirty stuff with old men at the beach both black and white and this irritated me terribly. When i inquired about i was told that, that was a major issue in that community and that many young girls had left school because of that. As a result of these , the rate of HIV/AIDS infection in the area was high and it was very dangerouse to date anyone in the area. This was absolutely shocking and to make matters worse, this practice continued because of the rampant corruption that was in the area. The government had issued a warning that no under 18 person was to get or rather go at the beach and had even deployed policemen in the area to help solve the problem but it was all in vain because the hotel managers bribed them with a good sum of money and therefore the practice continued even though the government had placed in place a good idea to stop the practice but corruption made the idea to fail up to today and it still remains a problem
