    The Effects of Material Possession on the Ministerial Priesthood: A Study in the Archdiocese of Nyeri
    (Tangaza University College, 2016-06) Mwangi, Martin Ngura
    This Long Essay is intended to explore the effects and challenges posed by possession of material wealth by the Clergy in the Archdiocese of Nyeri. The world today has become secularised and the church is not spared and this has generated a lot of challenges on the priesthood ministry of the clergy. Possessing material wealth is not the issue, but, its effects and how it is administered and is the issue. The Church has been emphasizing on the need for the clergy to live a life of poverty and simplicity. Possession of wealth by the clergy was one of the reforms the Church has tried in some of the Church Councils. This issue needs a new approach other than the canons that were developed in the various Councils, as well as change of attitudes by the Clergy of what material wealth means to them.

    Using Media Postively To Fight Hiv/Aids among The Youth (Ages 14-30)
    (Institute of Social Communication, 2010) Wakahia, Millicent
    HIV/AIDS is a fatal disease. The disease destroys the immune system leaving the infected person vulnerable to other infectious disease. The disease is a looming disaster in the world and Kenya is heavily affected since it was discovered that HIV/AIDS is affecting a bigger percentage of the work force of this country who are the youth. This means that Kenya is being deprived of quality services by its people; this in turn means that the economic growth is slowed down by the loss of this productive workforce. Poverty on the one hand has become a barrier in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It has fueled its spread at a very high rate within a short period of time. The disease has no cure even though there is so much research going on in various parts of the world, so as to come up with a cure for this deadly virus.

    With only four years left before the expiry of the stipulated time set for Millennium Development Goals, (MDGs). The moment has come for the government to look back and assess its performance on what it has achieved since the time it was initiated. The producer is therefore going to carry out a research on the progress the government has made towards the realization of Millennium Development Goal. This research is going to be in form of a documentary. It is going to focus on MDG no.1 which is, "Eradication of poverty and hunger". The case study is going to be ICibera slum. The researcher is going to tour the entire ICibera slum to access the project initiated by the government in collaboration with UNDP as regards eradication of poverty and hunger. These will include, structures such as schools, roads, toilets, hospitals and housing to mention but a few. "The Millennium Development Goals were born out of the Development of the 1990s. 2015 was a generation away now with only five years left every country needs to assess its own performance".
