MY DATE WITH HARRISON MWENDWA.

Harry( as we call him) is my primary schoolmate,neighbour and good friend. We met at Dandora Primary in 2005. We have been classmates and at some point deskmates in class 8. Being a good noisemaker that he is, he found himself in my list of noisemakers severally(a good prefect i was). It is normal that my pals are noisemakers as am also a good talker. Him playing football seemed normal like every other boy. Never thought he would be where he is today. Am happy and proud of him.

I have started a new segment-MY DATE where i will be featuring people of all walks of life to share their stories.

Your advice to the youths?  
Nothing is impossible.  If they all stop being negative they can make it in life.  Life is never unfair as they say,  they should try and familiarize with the unfair and appreciate the fair.

Your take on drug abuse by the youths?  
I do not take any drug or alcohol.  It's not bad to drink alcohol occasionally otherwise,  I don't understand why people misuse drugs.

Growing up in Dandora(known for crimes) what do you tell the youths there who have lost hope?  
They need to move and interact with other people from other hoods. It's never bad to leave your hood but always know when to carry it with you.  That's what I did.
Thank you Cera
