ACTS started the 2011 year's events by a visit to the prison located six kilometers from Kisumu town. The team of five comprised of Jenipha Wasonga, Director; Sam Omondi Bunde, Programmes Officer; the Rev. Eli Ogudha, a medic at the New Nyanza Provincial Hospital; Evelyn Anyang', an expert in drug and substance abuse, and counseling trainer; and Dan Ouma, counseling trainer with Agape.
The goal of this one-day training to prisoners was the elimination of RISK BEHAVIOUR such as drugs abuse, sodomy and other risky and deviant behaviours taking place behind the prison walls . This also follows an assessment carried out in the recent past to examine the need to intensify correctional activities in the prison service.
It is worthy to note that ACTS was identified amongst others as an organisation that would be used to help in the rehabilitation of the inmates due to the nature of its mission and experience in the area of counselling and rehabilitation.
The training event took place on the 27th of January 2011, at the Inmates Training Centre situated within Kodiaga main prisons, and was attended by one hundred and three inmates (103), representing all sectors of inmates in the prison.
The inmates and officers felt highly rejuvenated and requested for an arrangement to be made for PEER COUNSELING TRAINING to be conducted for inmates and prison officers in order to empower them be able to deal with issues that confront them on a day to day basis.
ACTS have found a great passion and desires to share the same with our friends and well-wishers.
Our appeal is this: "COME LET'S GO AND FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT OUR BRETHREN BEHIND THE PRISON WALLS" or better still, support ACTS to provide this rehabilitative service by partnering with us.
