“Hosting this years’ Family Fun Day Games at the Mission is a joy for us. Seeing Kenyans come together in such a joyous atmosphere reaffirms the strong bonds between us as a community. As we continue to nurture this spirit of collaboration even away from home, I am confident that we will continue to flourish and fly the Kenyan flag even higher,” he stated.
