Virtues training at MMUST

Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology in Kakamega is the first university in the world (to our knowledge) to adopt the Virtues Project campus wide. We have already trained a good number of senior staff and lecturers using the Business and Professional package. Yesterday we received our first group of students to be trained in Phase One. They were student leaders,many the chairperson of different clubs. Throughout the six hours for the 'Community' package they remained attentive, active and cooperative. Their evaluation reports (anonymous) were all positive and enthusiastic, wholeheartedly supporting the spread of to other groups and even to the whole country. On Saturday we shall welcome a mixed group of nursing and education students who will be going out on internship. In amny cases, medical staff in hospitals are considered harsh and uncaring and in schools the use of the cane and other severe punishments are common. We hope we shall be able to give these young people a different approach to use positive discipline, compassion and service.
