In our African culture, visitors are a blessing to the visited and today SambaSports Youth Agenda was privileged to recieve 6 visitors from NDMA, UNDP and IPSTC among them the IPSTC National Director. There were 17 Samba members present in the meeting, among them were three Children who were beneficiaries of our ICT program.
On their arrival the visitors were taken round by the finance and admin Coordinator, Program Coordinator, Cephas Juma, Nancy Wambura, Abigael Kavithu and Abdul Mohammed to see our office and the facilities we have that we use in our daily activities.
