Why Ireland & Kenya?
Irish culture has been largely influenced by the Celtic tribes who reached Ireland around the 6th century B.C.
In the following centuries, Ireland endured invasions by the Vikings, Normans and British.
Kenya's numerous distinct ethnic groups contribute unique traditions, languages, vibrant cultural tapestry and heritage.
The fierce resistance to British colonization by the Kenyans, demonstrated powerful unity and a deep-rooted desire to protect their lands and societies, ultimately leading to independence.
