Favourite memory of the Award:
The first day I went to mount Kenya for an expedition organized by the regional office and the national office in Kenya. We had to use all the skills to go up the mountain since it was cold and plus since we were the hosts we had to guide other people from all walks of the nation.
The second one was hosting HRH prince Edward Earl of Wessex this year at Aberdares. It is one of the fond memories that we shall forever cherish .

Biggest challenge from doing the Award:

Muhoho many participants have benefited a lot.
