Adolescent and young people from all the walks of Kenya gathered for a 2 day stock taking meeting held in Nairobi. Coming from different organizations, schools and institutions VAP led the battle from the football front, represented by 2 Skillz coaches and one participant. The focus of stock taking meeting was on the role of non-health sectors in the adolescent and young people response such as family health, mental health and substance abuse management. The meeting controlled by the young people for the young people stirred up a lot of informative discussions all in the fight against HIV and lots of take home messages.
