In the next instalment of our series of introductions, I thought it only fair to give one of my male colleagues a chance to share his thoughts and experience of Vision Africa with you.
Name: Gerald O. Oyubo
Role: Project Head
Project(s) you work with: St John’s Children’s Centre, Riruta (Nairobi). This is an informal primary school dealing with less fortunate children.
What impact do you see Vision Africa having? Vision Africa plays a very big role in my project especially in feeding the children lunch, supporting rent payments, subsidising salaries for non-teaching staff and assisting with other educational resources.
How do you feel about working for Vision Africa? I feel good because the organisation encourages accountability and this helps my project to offer good services to the children.
Do you have a message for anyone who would like to donate time/skills/money to a Vision Africa project? Any donation or volunteering that comes to my project through Vision Africa will be highly appreciated. Vision Africa has been working with my project for the last 8 years and has never failed us.
Thanks!!
Gerald is also a member of Vision Africa’s Council of Reference in Kenya and advises Council members on issues relating to education.
You can assist Gerald in his work by sponsoring a child at St. Johns Children’s Centre from just £7 (800ksh) a month. Alternatively, if you live in the Nairobi area and would like to consider volunteering or making a donation in kind please get in touch.
