Hosted by World Paddlesport Foundation (WPSF), to spread passion for teamwork and unity while we are in Kenya from December 30, 2008 through January 20, 2009.

The WPSF goal is to communicate a passion for understanding and a passion for national unity at all levels within the nation. We will collaborate with various levels of Kenyan government to establish a combined vision while also working with the local community through our programming partnerships, other International NGO’s.

By promoting alternative pathways to success throughout each village and city, we hope to empower people to believe in themselves and work with others to affect positive change.
