Mutare, 29 July 2026
A march was held on the 28th of July 2026 from Rujeko primary school to Sheni primary school.
The march began at 2 pm with the drum majorettes from Sheni primary school leading, who were wearing CLUBHOUSE branded t-shirts followed by the CLUBHOUSE members from Rujeko and Sheni who were holding up the CLUBHOUSE banner. Included in the marching crowd were the CLUBHOUSE executive members like Mr. Mangenje, former CLUBHOUSE students, teachers,
pupils and the community of Dangamvura.
The march ended at Sheni Primary school around 3 pm, where everyone was dismissed in preparation for the festival.
On the 29th of July 2026, the CLUBHOUSE festival was held at Sheni Primary school. The festival started at 10 AM with a grand march from drum majorettes and CLUBHOUSE members from the gate to the grounds while everyone else settled down. In attendance, there were school children from Sheni, parents and guardians of children in the CLUBHOUSE, former students, CLUBHOUSE executive and the community at large.
An opening devotion was held led by Mrs. Kunaka and she gave an opening prayer for the events to begin. Mrs. Duri from Sheni Primary led the introductions of the school board members who were there which included the headmaster of Sheni and teachers in the CLUBHOUSE from both Rujeko Primary and Sheni. Mr. Divine continued with the introductions of the CLUBHOUSE former students and executive members which included Mr. Matavire, the director.
After everyone was introduced, speeches followed, starting with the Head girl from Sheni primary school and other pupils from Sheni and Rujeko primary schools who are in the
CLUBHOUSE.
The headmaster from Sheni also gave a speech on how CLUBHOUSE has been a great organization to the pupils, the school and the community. Mr. Blessing also gave a speech as one of the former CLUBHOUSE students followed by Mr. Matavire who dwelt much on what is the purpose and goal of CLUBHOUSE and shading some light to parents, guardians and the community on the goodness and mission of the organization to empower children at an early age. Businessman and success coach who also sits on the CLUBHOUSE Zim board Mr. Peter Mutyasira also gave a speech to encourage everyone that dreams can come true despite where we come from.
A soccer match was held between Rujeko Primary and Sheni Primary school which ended with the victory of Sheni in a one nil score line. The match was a great thrill with children from both schools supporting their fellow brothers who were playing. When the match ended there were medals and trophies in place for both the victors and the run up team. The players were given their medals by the CLUBHOUSE executive and a trophy was handed to the winning team. Mrs. Duri gave the closing remarks and Mr. Divine gave a closing prayer for the event. All the
CLUBHOUSE executive, members, teachers, soccer players, parents and guardians were served food and later dismissed.
We would like to thank all our partners and sponsors for making this festival a success and for making sure that we continue to do the work that we do for our communities.
