Bonus Local Leaders Training/Youth Workshop in Nakuru, Kenya!

We thought our Kenya projects would end in Kibera as originally planned, but we were also invited to lead a training in Nakuru at the Rhonda slum, where thousands of Internally Displaced political refugees have been living. We ended up training an additional 16 Local Leaders to teach youth about the importance of traditional foods for nutrition and the environment.

Just when we were ready to take a breather, a last minute opportunity came up to conduct a brief training for a dozen Global Routes College Interns who were about to be placed in a village homestay where they would be working as Educators! The interns were so excited to have concrete tools to use to engage youth in their villages in the areas of health, cooking, nutrition and sustainability! And best of all, the interns brought the healthy date sweets we made as a group as a welcome gift for their homestay families!

The training was eye-opening for everyone involved, and we hope our GR friends train with us formally this year through CBP’s new College Summer Intern Program (details coming soon on the website!).
