While Children of Kibera Foundation (CoKF) founder, Ken Okoth, took a short holiday in Kenya, CoKF staff decided to take full advantage and present scholarship opportunities to Class 8 students around Kibera. Ken, Project Coordinator Japheth Ochieng, and interns Jackie and Joscelyn, made their way from Ayany Primary to Kibera Primary and then to Olympic Primary to announce the 2010-2011 high school scholarship opportunity. While Ken inspired and motivated the young students with his own success story, Japheth, Jackie and Joscelyn explained the application process and program expectations. Students asked important questions and enthusiastically screamed “YES” when asked if they planned on applying. CoKF looks forward to seeing those bright faces turn in applications next January. See below for photos of today’s talks.
