Today, I went to USIU (United States International University) to visit with Roteract Kenya and their leaders. I met with Chris Ayoyi and Ruth Kabiru. We had a great discussion, or more of a courtesy call, speaking with those in charge about our plans for collaboration. I am very excited about partnership as we plan to not only work with them on our service activities, but there is the opportunity for peer mentorship and a Global Youth Leadership Symposium which we would organize together. Roteract would serve as host and we will be able to invite selected youth from different slum areas with which we each work (including Kibera, Kariubungi, Mathare, and Maruri) to participate with our youth for the symposium. The symposium would also be open to USIU students and students from other Roteract clubs. But it will focus on leadership and seek out professionals in Kenya to also be a part. It is really quite exciting. The details are being put together on what will happen exactly happen for the partnership, and I just can't wait to see it all in action.
