We are saying thank you USAID/KTI for helping us achieve some goals in a short span of 4 months of support.

We are requesting for more support to enable us accomplish our dreams.

The Deaf athletes will return home on Thursday, 17th September 2009 at the JKIA at 2.30 Pm.

They have requested USAID/KTI through me for a home coming party at the USAID/KTI, Eldoret Office.

The parents of all the Deaf athletes in Taiwan and the SHI Chairman will travel via a hired Matatu no. KBE 550E, from Eldoret to Nairobi JKIA for reception of their Children with gifts.

More updates after arrival.

Thank you all USAID/KTI Staff.
