Ken is the second born from a family of 11 in Kimende, Kenya where his parents do small scale farming. After high school Ken was not able to go to college right away as it was impossible for his parents to raise the funds he needed. They were already stretched financially paying the high school fees needed for his younger siblings. However, with the help of a sponsor in Sooke, British Columbia he has recently graduated from Zetech College with an Advanced Diploma in Tourism Management and Consulting.
During his time at Zetech College, Ken was an Organizing Secretary in his student council which led him to be selected for an internship. Currently with this internship at Zetech College Ken is involved with marketing and organizing students events focused on community involvement and environmental conservation. He is also an AIESEC president at Zetech University. AISEC (Association internationale des étudiants en sciences économiques et commerciales or International Association of Students in Economic and Commercial Sciences) is an organization that facilitates youth leadership activites, international internships and volunteer experiences. In his role here, he works with East African and Peruvian students coordinating and facilitating exchanges.
EIP is very grateful to have Ken as a volunteer because he works particularly hard to ensure fundraisers are well publicized and run smoothly. For the upcoming EIP fundraiser Ken is organizing a bus of students from his college to come and participate.
Ken has dreams of starting his own travel company and is particularly interested in giving back by working with unemployed youth in his area. He is hoping to continue on to a Bachelor in Tourism Management at Moi University in March 2014 which he believes will give him more of the skills needed to be successful.
