Making of Teenage Servant Leaders

Ms. Teresia Muia, one of the facilitators, reinforced this by engaging students in real-life conflict scenarios within school settings. Through these exercises, the young leaders gained insights into the power of active listening, open dialogue, inclusivity, empathy, and constructive feedback in fostering a harmonious school environment.

Beyond leadership, Kesenwa reminded the students of their primary role as learners. “As leaders, you must also focus on your studies. Avoid burnout by managing your time wisely. Using a planner to track assignments and leadership tasks can help you stay organized and in control,” she advised.

The session ended on a high note with interactive team-building activities that required students to think creatively, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively. The young leaders expressed their enthusiasm, recognizing the training as a transformative experience.

"Today’s session was so empowering. I have come to appreciate the importance of active listening, allowing open dialogue, and resolving conflicts in a meaningful way," said Miss Njuguna, Deputy Head Girl of Loreto Valley Road.

Inspired by the model of servant leadership exemplified by Jesus, these student leaders left the session ready to serve their peers with humility, wisdom, and purpose.
