“As I grew up, I learned that everybody is good and so I have been appreciating everyone and looking at them as good. It was until I was scalded many times for stooping too low to the level of people who are not of my professional level that I found myself in a “torn in between state.” This programme has renewed my virtue of appreciating everyone. Everyone is indeed good! Carol Olumula
“You have changed someone who had fully given up on my job and you have given me the sense of BEING and BE. When I did good, nobody noticed but when I did bad, everybody came up. That’s the attitude I had before this programme but you’ve given me the sense of BEING and BE. I’ll do good even when nobody notices.” Beatrice Kanyoro

“It has taken the teambuilding experience for me to realize that life is not about what others can do. It’s about what you yourself can do to bring about change. Look within you and you will be surprised how much potential you’ve got.” Wanjiru Njeru
“I am a changed parson and I’m not the same again. Long live DEPOT, a place of inspiration and transformation.” Jacqueline Wamweya
“The DEPOT has touched the core of my heart where I thought no one can to actualize my dreams and open the world for the best. It is within 24 hours that has touched the real gold that is treasured on me. The strongest power to do things lies within myself, all I need is to exercise it and wonders/successes and actualization follows. DEPOT will be within me for the rest of my life.” Daniel Ngugi
“I was extremely disappointed when I joined the institution to find there was no togetherness among the staff but I now realize that the change in attitude has to start from me. It has changed my outlook and attitude towards life, work and community as a whole.” Sarah Ndegwa

"Greetings, Hoping you have began your year 2010 well with promise of soon- to- be fulfilled dreams.
As I begin this New Year, I could not help but reminisce on the blessings of the past year. Blessings of which I am eternally grateful for. It is for this simple yet important reason that I am writing to say Thank You. A heart felt thank you to The DEPOT team. For the short period we spent together was a tome which had a profound impact on my life whereby a man managed to engineer the tallest building or a woman broke the set athletic records. But profound does not only describe the people whose actions have been captured in the Guinness Book of World Records, it also includes people whose existence changes lives but go unrecognized but never unfelt. So this is to you, The DEPOT team; a profound team.
Although initially I had failed to recognize the impact of your efforts in the end, I was awed at the results. What are the results you ask? I could claim to be a changed person but that is not it. I am stronger, it’s that simple. As Sir Edmund Hillary once said “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” True, I knew myself before but I understand ME now. I owe that to all of you from mathee to Twalib, each and every one of you ‘Thank you’.
Therefore as the year progresses, I pray it will be a year of prosperity and adhered to resolutions with satisfactory results. You will definitely hear from and of me as I continue to let my light shine far and wide.
Yours truly

"MY LESSONS from: Rajiv Pandit, Oshwal High and participant- (Uongozi Bora 3)
You are the man to control it.
But everyone’s life is different from one another, it depends on whether you want to joke or get serious with the game, cheat or be honest in the game.
Life is a straight track with obstacles and hurdles but with the positive attitude you can clear the potholes.
Along the game you find all sorts of friends, those who can help and those who are like pests but it’s for you to identify them.
Be honest loyal and kind to them they’ll make your path smooth, do exactly the opposite to them, they’ll act as landmines.
Who knows what’s there at the finish line for you, but that shouldn’t stop you from constructing a good positive attitude to help you win, because your attitude reflects your image, have a clear cut reflection and you might just inspire someone to follow your steps.
Present yourself to the highest degree of accuracy.
Remember 2 things: - “what you focus on becomes your reality”. Focus on the finish line and you’ll win. It’s like a finger pointing to the moon, but don’t concentrate on the finger or you’ll miss all that heavenly glory.
Lastly, “your first impression is the lasting impression”. So plan your game out well, seek good advice and when you implement your actions try and have no room for errors. Who knows you may lead a team of your own to victory."
