 What's up everybody? Welcome to SPM Bars. This is Bars with Stars and I'm right here at the committee maximum prison and like I told you guys something is happening. It's a talent festival for the inmates in the committee prison and I'm right here with the organizer. She's going to be introducing herself and just telling us how is it going. Hi, how are you? Good. Thank you. I know you're feeling weird because you are on the other side of the mic. I miss being on your side. I am normally mischievous. Now I'm on this side. It's weird. I know. So I go by the name of Angare Rikunda. I'm a news anchor, I'm a show host. On the other side I have an organization called Rehoboth Wellness Center. We mostly deal with supporting the vulnerable people like this one's here and we also have a program where we feed the needy elderly widows and widows. Yes. You know, someone is asking themselves vulnerable. It's a prison. Why vulnerable? You know, people don't get to understand that side. These individuals are vulnerable because from where you stand, you probably think everyone has stigmatized them. So they are in their most vulnerable state. So the main objective of this is to remove that stigma part. So even the society outside, they appreciate them. We get to see what they're made of rather than just the mistakes they've made in the past. Yes. I mean, so what led you to this decision because you'd have gone to a children's home, anywhere else, you know, where we have vulnerable people. But why committee maximum prison? Do I really have a why? I don't have a why. I've done this from 2018. And I feel so fulfilled every time I do it. At the end of the day, I'll go home feeling so happy because these young men and women will always remember this day. They'll always feel like and then what is the point of living? The point of living is living a legacy. I want to be remembered for making a difference. I want to be remembered for creating an impact in a place where people thought that it cannot be done. Yesterday, I met an Uber driver, the one that dropped me here and he was like in the back years. Look at us now. Look at us now. This is an untapped space. This is a space where I made a difference somewhere. I made someone's life different. I made them feel good about themselves. I made them feel like they are made of greatness rather than what else they have to offer. They are talented. They are smart. They have so much they can bring to the table rather than their mistakes. Even a forest grows after there was a forest fire. So this is a forest growing after that fire. I love how intentional you are about things and how informed you are. Now, of course, this is a place where we are getting to see the talent, but there's also the other side. This is my first time here in a prison, actually. How was your first time? Is there actually any story that you've had that really touched your heart and you're like, you know, you need to keep doing this? Yes. There is a time I was here. It's an event I did here two months ago and there was a young boy who shared his story. You did not sit and think, what else can this boy do? Why did this boy still treat this 3K? He was just hungry. Maybe it was just peer pressure. Now he's lost out on so much of the outside life because of him being here. But on the positive side, he's also been in a safer space because maybe he'd be dead. Maybe he'd be doing way worse things. So here, he's being rehabilitated. He's being reformed. And by the time he's leaving, he'll be a much better boy. Even when we had a conversation with him, he said, he's happy to be here because most likely he's going to be a gangster because he doesn't know what he's doing. Yes. It actually resolves and correct. Yes. We don't like to say it's a prison. It's a reformation center. It's a rehabilitation center. Yes. Sounds good. What are we expecting now from this talent festival that is happening today? From this talent festival, we expect to see so much talent and I'm sure you have up until now. This young man and woman are talented. You must agree. Very, very talented. So the main aim is to award them. So we will be having Mr. Kamiti and Miss Kamiti. For those that don't know this, there's a juvenile here for girls. A reformational center here for young girls. So we will be crowning Mr. Kamiti and Miss Kamiti, Mr. Medium and Mr. Maximum. We will also be having, the committee has four prisons inside it, Maximum, Medium, Moe, CTC and Kamai Girls. So it's the four of them that are competing against each other. So the winner goes home with a trophy and a gift hamper. And there's also certificates for the particular prison that win because you know what I should do. Because I did something magnificent. They'll always remember I made a change. I made the difference. I showed the world who I am and what I have to offer. Yes. All right, Wangare, thank you so much. We are of course enjoying already. And I know just seeing what the inmates have to offer. And we are so excited. Congratulations on, you know, this initiative that you've taken. It's not everyone who gets to do this because it's not really benefitting you in other ways. It's just emotional satisfaction. And that's a good thing. So congratulations and keep doing. Thank you. I also want to say thank you for coming in as our media partner. I'm so grateful. Look out for SPM. They're doing amazing things. We will be going with them every because we intend to do this. It's all prisons in Kenya. We'll do this at Kiambo Prison. We represent every prison in the country. So I think we will be going together with you. For sure. Yes. All right, Wangare, thank you so much, guys. That was Wangare Yikunda, who is the word for Rehoboth. I'm the founder. The founder. Rehoboth Wellness Center. Thank you so much for watching Buzz. It's Taz. My good name is Miski Tenji. Until next time, keep it at SPM Buzz.
