On September 19th, Stephanie Grepo of ISHR attended a side event sponsored by the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Funding Community-Led Development for the SDGs, and featuring 1996 Advocate Twesigye Jackson Kaguri, the Founder and ED of Nyaka in Uganda, as the keynote speaker. While making the rounds during the networking portion of the event, the first person Stephanie met was an incoming HRAP advocate! They had no idea that we would run into each other there. Stephanie introduced the incoming advocate, Esther Kimani, to Jackson. You can see that the HRAP spirit was kindled in less than 60 seconds of Jackson and Esther meeting one another! Welcome to HRAP, Esther! She is the founder and ED of the Zamara Foundation in Kenya. (ISHR will share the name of the incoming cohort once all of the admitted advocates have passed through the visa process. Stay tuned.)
