Walter Opiyo
Full-time Volunteer
Walter has been a member of EK since 2008. He helps set-up rooms and equipment for EK events such as World Cup viewings and checks ID cards at the door. Walter also serves as a translator for OHR - Suba to Luo or English - and is often seen giving tours around the community.
How did you learn about EK?
I met Chas Salmen the first time he came to the island through Richard. Then I helped with the food and nutrition project before the EK Center was complete.
Do you enjoy your job?
Very much! Seriously, I spend most of my days here. It has given me awareness and trained me in new things.
What is one thing people should know about EK?
There are a variety of programs here, for all different types of people... but you can only participate if you have become a member through VCT.
