Earlier today, I launched a training session for our new cohort of #volunteers from Eastern Region to the President's Award-Kenya programme. At the President's Award-Kenya we're all about investing in the next generation of Kenyan leaders. I was encouraged to see young people proactively participating in the programme to bring change within their communities. We will continue impacting life skills to our young people to ensure they're #WorldReady to tackle different challenges facing them.
