Graduation Day Programme
November 25th 2005

Welcome to Matinyani Youth Polytechnic’s very first Graduation and Open Day. We are honoured to welcome you to our polytechnic on this historical day. The Management Committee of Matinyani Youth Polytechnic, together with our instructors, support staff and trainees have prepared for many months to make today a special celebration of our graduating trainees and to share the YP’s successes and challenges with all our stakeholders. Our Management Committee (MC) is comprised of community leaders, parents and guardians and the provincial administration along with myself as the secretary of the YP. Our trainees are also represented through elected representatives on the MC.

Our YP’s shared and collectively developed VISION statement is
A developed and peaceful Kenya whose citizens live with dignity, free from suffering, and whose youth have enough resources and opportunities for advancement.

Our YP’s shared and collectively developed MISSION statement is
To provide quality technical training to youth for employment, self-discipline and community benefit.

We strive to work towards this vision and mission with your support. Below is a tentative programme for today. Mr. Robert S. Muinde, MC Member, will be the Master of Ceremony for the day’s programme. Kindly limit your speech to a maximum of 5 minutes to allow all esteemed guests to bless our youth as they start their journey into the working world. Thank you very much for being with us today and boosting our confidence. You are welcome to visit us often and guide us with your ideas and actions.

Yours truly,


Gabriel K. Kilonzo
Project Manager
