IPA Kenya
Friendship Day a full success!
On 6 May 2017, IPA Kenya organised an IPA Kenya Friendship Day at the Kenya Police Pavilion South C estate in Nairobi.
IPA members were encouraged to bring along their children and other family members, and all activities took place at the pavilion poolside, complete with a children’s playground and bouncy castles. In addition, face painting was offered as additional entertainment for the young ones.
The emphasis of the Friendship Day was on team-building and forming bonds of friendship amongst the participants, with many activities such as team exercises, competitions, challenges, jokes, music and dancing having been planned for the day.
In addition, new members were registered and IPA-branded merchandise was for sale.
156 participants, including IPA friends, attended, and photo and video shoots had been organised by IPA Kenya members to cover the day’s events.
Speeches were held by the President of IPA Kenya, Alfred Osur, the Secretary General, Jared Ojuok, IPA member and businessman Mukhtar Omar as well as retired senior police officer Pauline Aringo who talked to young police officers on the challenges of policing in the 1970s and today.
We were happy for 15 street children, who had arrived unexpectedly, to join us at the event and we treated them to lunch.
The IPA Kenya Friendship Day proved such a success that all members present requested for such events to be held as frequently as possible.
