CARPENTRY

  Carpentry was associated with lower class and desperate persons in the community some times back. Anyone who was in any way committed to carpentry was underrated. This was a very negative motif in our community which was rapidly growing roots.
   But when a non-governmental youth group know to us as " The Vijana Tujijenge forum" launched a three-day crusade in the community to intergrate the youths and the less fortunate to stop giving up and be optimistic of any job. They informed the victims on the best measures to take in carpentry so as to improve their living standards in their lives as carpenters.
   To date, many have drowned their negative attitude about carpentry and now the job is respectable and attributable. Youths who were becoming desperate are now hopeful and hard-working.
