WHAT DRIVES US TO BE AIDUCATORS – PART 2

Posted on 06/10/2011 at 05:45PM

At the beginning of this year we gave you a look behind the scenes of our scholarship-raising chapters in Switzerland, Germany and the UK and introduced some of our Aiducators there. Now we want to continue this story and turn the spotlight towards the faces of Aiducation in our talent-raising chapter in Kenya.

Jeremiah Kambi, is co-founder of Aiducation International and CEO of Aiducation Kenya. Jackson Mbovu is the CFO of Aiducation Kenya. Both of them are members of the core team that drives Aiducation work on the ground. They ensure that every step of our process is taken care of locally, set up partnerships with schools, screen applications, and advertise our scholarship programme even in the remotest areas of the country.

GATHERING THE AIDUCATION COMMUNITY IN SWITZERLAND FOR THE ANNUAL AIDUCATION FORUM

Posted on 05/12/2011 at 03:42PM

Working for Aiducation International has many aspects and our activities are of a wide range. But for sure one of the nicest occasions next to working directly with our students is to get in touch with our AiduMakers and other friends and supporters of Aiducation International. One great opportunity to do this is the annual Aiducation Forum in our Swiss Chapter.

More than a hundred AiduMakers, supporters and friends joined us for the Aiducation Forum on April 12th, 2011 in the Auditorium of the Technopark Zurich. We used the event to looked back upon a spectacular year and celebrate the achievements of 2010.

Our AiduAlumni Obrein Telly - a future leader

Posted on 04/24/2011 at 08:47AM

AiduFellows are exceptional. Every day, we can’t help but feel amazed by their talent, their energy, and their desire to change their country for the better. Obrein is a perfect example of the kind of bright young people we meet when we visit schools across Kenya. His talent and generosity have already made a difference to communities in Kenya.

Obrein Telly

When we first met Obrein, we were stunned by his ambition. In his application form, the 17 year old boy from Gede, a village situated about 2 hours drive from the coastal city of Malindi, told us about his multiple goals in life.

- Become a neurosurgeon and build safe harbours for mentally ill people

- Start in politics and become a member of the Kenyan Parliament to deeply reform his country, and serve those who are underrepresented in the country, like people who are suffering from diseases and victims of the financial crisis.

- Work to prevent climate change, which is severely affecting populations in the most remote and arid regions of Kenya.
