It has been a long time coming! For the last few years every Christmas has found this buzz going round 'we shall have a cantata'. However, that never went beyond the idea carrier Elias Wamae. What we did not know is that the time had not yet come. And come it did!!
2008 was the moment. Almost singlehandedly Elias Wamae brought together the Clergy, Choir, the Boys & Girls Brigade, StAY Alive, Praise Team and StATIC to put together a lovely rendition of the birth of Christ.
The stage and the decor, which were setup over a number of days, the music and the perfomance, the lights and the big screen... everything agreed that indeed as it was ultimately branded, Christmas Came To Zimmer!!

What A Year!! StAY Alive Dinner & Liberty Awards Nite 2008
Every year closes with the annual dinner and the Liberty Awards and 2008 was no different.
Though the event began a tad late, there was no dumper to the activity that laid ahead. With a dome erected at the Church compound, several invited guests, including visitors from other youth groups, StAY Alive Pevu members and other supporters of StAY Alive were part of the event.
After having a lovely dinner, the speaker of the day Mr Wakubwa made a thought provoking presenation on Success Tips For Youth. If you missed this you may need to follow up on the presentation slides!
The moment of the night was when the top performers were recognised. A new category 'Group of The Year' . The awards were shared out thus:

Event Recap:: StAY Klean & StAY Alive Anti-Drugs Raodshow
One of the key pillars of StAY Alive's growth has been the tradition of benchmarking and surpassing targets. How better else to display this tradition than at the groups biggest event (by reach and budget) the anti-drugs roadshow.
Running under the KATAA Initiative, this years edition was not going to pull any stops! From the pre-event activities including the fundraising, hype, and other preparations, this was going to be one big event. And one big event it was.
Starting off from Kahawa West on to Githurai 44 transversing the estate into Githurai 45 moving on to Kasarani and on to Zimmerman... the message was pushed home in every manner possible!! From the state of the art truck (it was a sight to behold), the lovely team of counsellors and recovering addicts from Freedom From Addiction and Brightside Centre, the lovely Administration Police Band, Performing artists including YRC, Caro Nyce, StATIC and KTatu, to the the psyched membership that made sure all heard the message loud and clear, its was a tough fight against drugs.
Special mention to the Kenya Police and the Apex Security Company for providing enough security along the route.
In all it was a well executed event which continues to meet and surpass its objectives over and over. Kudos to the StAY Alive leadership, the KATAA Secretariat and the StAY Alive membership for a well co-ordinated event right from the planning stages to the execution!!
The bar has been raised!
