Every boy is born with innate vitality.<\/p>\n

That’s why as girls play with Barbie dolls, the boys are wrestling, pushing & fighting each other.<\/p>\n

This exuberance is primal, and needs an outlet – contrary to which they become deviant and rebellious. If this vitality does not meet impact, it will be misplaced.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, something remarkable happened in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

A group of executives from the General Tires Company in Njiro pooled resources & started a youth soccer team. Njiro is an affluent suburb in the outskirts of Arusha. In Kenya, think of Muthaiga, or Kilimani.<\/p>\n

They called the team “Executive 11<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rather than stationing the team in the opulent suburbs of Njiro, these men took it to an area called Ngaramtoni. This is an underprivileged settlement – its Kenyan equivalent is the sprawling Mathare Slums.<\/p>\n

The team usually met on Sundays and the schedule was simple.<\/p>\n

The men would play with the young boys from 11:00 am after church, eat snacks together at the end of the session (1:00 pm).<\/p>\n

They\u2019d then chit-chat with the boys, offer advice for various challenges – perhaps, for 30 minutes. Then call it a day.<\/p>\n

The men understood that to change, and improve the underprivileged boys’ perspectives on life, they would need to provide an outlet for the pent up emotions & innate vitality which inevitably informs the male being – that\u2019s what inspired them to form a team.<\/p>\n

The boys from the slum looked forward to those Sundays.<\/p>\n

Not so much for the snacks but the opportunity to bond and get closer to successful men that understood them. The men spoke their language – they could see close up that success could speak their language!<\/p>\n

The soccer team – “Executive 11”<\/strong> – went on to participate and win the 2007 under-17 soccer category in the East African Games.<\/p>\n

That slum team was proof that there are no bad boys. No \u2018bad boy\u2019 is born a bad boy.<\/p>\n

If they cannot find a positive outlet, they will seek a deviant one.<\/p>\n

For these boys, sports became the ultimate outlet. There are values that can only be forged in brotherhood: sports provided that opportunity to learn about loyalty, discipline & determination.<\/p>\n

It molded them into productive men.<\/p>\n

Presently, mentorship in all aspects is just as important for kids – irrespective of their backgrounds – whether slums or affluent neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Mentorship is vital in social circles, academic, political and most importantly, and which gets to determine the scope of their future – the financial aspect.<\/p>\n

Teachings on finance and money management ought to start early in a child\u2019s life. The good thing is, modern financial firms have in place financial mentorship program that aim to drive this agenda home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For instance, Co-op Bank<\/strong> offers the flagship Jumbo Junior Savings Account.<\/a><\/p>\n

Co-op Bank<\/a> has a transitional account that\u2019s a perfect for children below the age of 18 years. This is great as a financial teaching aid for kids, on the basics of finance.<\/p>\n

First off, the account offers automatic membership to the Jumbo Junior Membership Club, which is packed with lots of benefits.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a free, funky ele-bank for the kid for every new account.<\/p>\n

The Jumbo Junior Account<\/a> also allows discounted bank cheque\u2019s for fee payments to the child\u2019s school.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more interesting is that the Jumbo Junior bank account attracts interest payable at 3%, annually.<\/p>\n
