Student Athlete of the Year
 
 








 Emmanuel Odhiambo, center, named MVP of Kenya's 2015 national rugby  championship games


Congratulations and best wishes to KSHP sponsored student, Emmanuel Odhiambo, who heads to Kigali, Rwanda with his teammates this month to represent Kenya in the Federation for East & Central Africa Secondary School games.  
 
A senior at Maseno High, Emmanuel began playing rugby his junior year and has owned the field ever since.  Named MVP of the National Kenyan Secondary School championships in April, Emmanuel clenched the title for his school with his game-winning goal.  

Next week, the Maseno High 'Jambazi' (Robbers) will face off against national teams from Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, South Sudan, Burundi and Rwanda for the East & Central Africa title.
 
Emmanuel has not always been a standout student athlete.  Raised by his peasant farmer grandmothers, high school education was an impossible dream.  But Emmanuel's future, like his athletic gifts, opened wide when he received a KSHP educational sponsor.  Our Athlete of the Year will graduate in November with career options galore thanks to a sponsor's high school support.
