A 28 yr old genz, Lesiamon Likimani has been elected as the new board of directors chairperson, Kerarapon primary School. Lesiamon Likimani is the great-grandson of the Muthoni Likimani who was a well known writer.He graduated from JKUAT with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. “I been actively involved in community initiatives, such as serving as a board member of Kerarapon Water, participating in tree planting , and even taking the initiative of fixing drainage covers after an incident where a child fell into one and broke both of her. These experiences deepened my understanding of the needs of the community and the importance of service. I also believe it is time for the youth to step up into leadership. Often, young people are judged harshly, with perceptions that we are careless or disconnected. But we have the energy, creativity, and fresh perspective to drive meaningful change. Taking up this role is my way of showing that youth can lead responsibly and make a lasting impact” He said He further said “I am also proud to be Likimani the 5th—continuing a legacy of service, as the 1st Likimani, Paul Likimani, was actually the first Chairman of Kerarapon School and one of the founders too. For me, carrying this name is both a responsibility and a privilege, and I’m committed to uplifting it further by serving my community with integrity. Being elected as the Chairman of Kerarapon Primary School is more than just a role for me. It is an opportunity to give back, to inspire the youth, and to ensure our children learn in an environment that prepares them for a brighter future.” Should more Genzs take leadership roles in communities?
