Project Description
Sammy’s project focuses on conducting a one-day training in leadership and skills for athletes selected from five schools and clubs in Nairobi. In collaboration with Special Olympics Africa, Sammy plans to hold a virtual training on leadership and skills for the Athlete Leadership Council members of different East Africa Special Olympics programs. Sammy aspires to conduct an on-site visit for the trained schools and clubs in Nairobi to access the progress made and collect feedback. Sammy will also hold virtual meetings with each program as follow up on the trainings done earlier.
