Emmanuel Mambo Monga and Lynette Wambui Njogu, the representatives of Kenyan youth who spoke directly to the Pope at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, describe the opportunity as a lifetime experience.

Emmanuel, a fashion designer in Eastleigh, Nairobi, says from the time he was chosen to give the address, he knew it would not only be his biggest chance in life but also a rare blessing to him and his family in Machakos.
