Yesterday I attended Market Day, an initiative of the One Stop Youth Centre. Market Day was held at the Kenyatti International Conference Centre and was an event that invited young people to exhibit and share their artwork, trades and initiatives. For the past weeks I had seen the preparations for the event taking place and was generally excited about it. The day before the event I went to check out the grounds of the Kenyatti International Conference Centre, where the event would be held. I had not imagined the space being so big and was a little concerned that it would be filled.

As I made my way towards the event grounds I could hear the music from blocks away. The entire space was full of people both attending and exhibiting. The food, music, dancing, art and inspirational youth initiatives filled the space and created an unforgettable experience for me. As I walked around to each of the stands and learned about the many projects I was greeted with amazing enthusiasm and positive energy. I had no idea that the Market Day was going to be such a huge event. I am now eagerly waiting to see what Harambee Youth Week will be like.
