COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Memorable quote " There's nothing like 'Being Prepared' is there, for what might seem possible, even if it may not seem probable."
A partnership with a difference KENYA - On Friday, 19th July 2013, the Italian Kenyan Scout Development Project (IKSDP) centre’s Social Hall held a very important event for the new generations of young Kenyan students. Rongo University College and IKSDP (Harambee Project) celebrated their partnership, not only with the attendance of students and teachers, but also with the active participation of local authorities and politicians, among them, the County Director of Education and the Nyandiwa community itself.

UPCOMING EVENTS Rongo University’s guests were warmly welcomed by IKSDP staff and were taken round the centre to show the luxuriant landscape and buildings. Definitively amazed by the beautiful environment, Rongo University’s students had the great opportunity to talk and discuss with the Italian group of volunteers from Bocconi University (Milano) about cultural differences and similarities. Future reflections were the main topics of the day as well as strong involvement in community projects that change lives.
