Kenyan Humanist conference a success despite obstacles
Monday, August 14th, 2006The Humanist and Ethical Union of Kenya has had a successful 2006 conference, reports Boaz Adhengo (IHEU, “All African Humanist conference - HEUK 2007 [sic]”), despite funding issues:
IHEU member organization Humanist and Ethical Union of Kenya organized its third annual conference this year, from May 23rd to 25th at Serena Hotel, Nairobi. It was a resounding success! […]
Our events are made difficult by the continuing apathy of the major funding bodies to Kenyan humanism in general. We were turned down by every major humanism funding body in the Sub–Sahara region. This conference only happened because of extensive private donation and the support of the Nairobi University. Thank you for aiding us in our third conference. The attendees joined the chair in issuing a special vote of thanks to the university – we really appreciated the NU stepping in when nobody else would, and hope the result justified the help!
