Nairobi, Kenya July, 10 2015 – Today we bid good bye to Miss Kagwiria Muthomi, from St. Andrews Christian School, Turi, who has been on a 2 weeks work experience with us. Kagwiria has been working on our environmental program with the Kariobangi Waste Management Alliance group that consists of youth from vulnerable families in the non formal settlements of Kariobangi area.
Her interaction with the youth enabled her identify the need to address various issues in the our society today which include poverty, unemployment among others. Kagwiria who is in the Year 12 of her education has the passion to pursue her environment studies in Australia and will be coming back to Kenya to give back to the society and make a change something she never thought of.
“It has been an absolute good experience working with you all, thanks to Global Peace Foundation for giving me this opportunity” she said, “When my mum told me that I will be working in Kariobangi I didn’t know where that was, but now I Know. I have seen the challenges people go through and as a way of giving back to my community I will be coming back to implement what I will have learned in Australia.” she concluded.
