As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey I’ve had with Global Fast Fit (GFF). This year has been nothing short of transformative, not just for me but also for the children, students, and communities I’ve had the privilege of working with. Here are some highlights and reflections on the milestones we’ve achieved together.

Building Strong Foundations

One of the most rewarding aspects of this year has been my role as the club manager of the GFF Riverside Chapter. Leading 33 vibrant members, 13 of whom are sponsored by Global Fast Fit, has been a fulfilling experience. Every Friday, our weekly GFF routine became a space for connection, growth, and inspiration. Sharing meals with the children, witnessing their bright smiles, and hearing their dreams reinforced the purpose behind our mission.

Through these routines, I’ve also seen personal growth. I’ve improved my physique and gained confidence, both of which have been instrumental in my role. Additionally, managing the clubs has taught me responsibility and accountability, qualities that have shaped me into a better leader.

Two standout moments were Alex’s presentation of a GFF-themed artwork and Briton’s promise to compose a GFF anthem. These moments reminded me of the profound impact of nurturing talents and fostering creativity. I’m eager to see how these seeds of inspiration grow in the years to come.

Memorable Events and New Beginnings

This year was packed with events that highlighted the vibrancy and potential within the GFF community. In July, I confidently addressed the Global Fast Fit contestants in Likia, a moment that tested and strengthened my public speaking skills. September brought the launch of a GFF club at Egerton University, where I witnessed the passion of new members eager to make a difference. I was also in charge of manning the visual display at both the Egerton event and the Scrabble event in November. These responsibilities deepened my understanding of event coordination and enriched my experience.

And let’s not forget the joyous End-of-Year Party at Kabarak University—each event a testament to the power of community and shared purpose.

Through my role, I’ve also had the chance to interact with high-ranking individuals in society, which has expanded my perspectives and inspired me to aim higher in all my endeavors.

Academics and Beyond

An essential part of my role has been closely following the academics of our members. It’s heartwarming to see the progress they’ve made, knowing that GFF’s support has been instrumental in their journeys. Beyond academics, the emphasis on character development and leadership has been equally impactful. Seeing these young individuals thrive and dream of giving back to their communities is the ultimate reward.

Gratitude to the Visionary Behind GFF

None of this would have been possible without the vision and belief of the founder of GFF, John Groom. I’m deeply grateful for the trust placed in me to contribute to this mission of building a healthier society. Their leadership and dedication have been a constant source of inspiration, driving all of us to dream bigger and work harder.

Looking Ahead

As I reflect on these achievements, I’m filled with gratitude and hope. Gratitude for the opportunity to be part of such a transformative initiative and hope for the future of the children and communities we serve. My dream is for these young individuals to not only achieve personal success but to become agents of change, extending the generosity they’ve received to others.

In 2025, I’m excited to take on a new role as the manager of the Winsim club alongside Simon Mucheru. With continued dedication and teamwork, I’m confident that next year will be even better. I pray for the continued success of Global Fast Fit and look forward to embracing new challenges and opportunities.

2024 has been a year of learning, growth, and milestones with Global Fast Fit. As we step into 2025, I’m excited to continue this journey, building on the foundation we’ve laid and embracing new challenges and opportunities. Together, we’ll continue to make a difference—one step, one smile, and one dream at a time.
