  Description

  My name is Victor, I'm 30 years old. My wife is called Bellah. she is lovely. I love meeting new people and learning new culture and languages. I also love listening to music. At my foundation we strive to equip the youth with skills that can help them secure a job once they graduate.
  
  Our foundation is not an orphanage but there is separate orphanage which is independent institution under children department. It was founded by my father Tom. the children from the orphanage go to school at our academy among other children from the community and those that are age 16-18 come to learn trade skill.
  
  We teach welding and fabrication, tailoring, computer and IT, and electrical installation. I'm also the sustainability manager at the school. we have 10 teachers teaching different subjects, 5 cooks and 2 security guards. We have 1 director, victor, secretary, Belinda, 1 welder, 1 electrical personel, 1 paint sprayer and 1 tailor.
  
  we'd love someone to teach proper English and a second foregn language such as German, French or Spanish as our curriculum requires so.we also need those with knowledge in tailoring, welding, computer literacy. I also love traveling and interacting with nature. we are friendly and welcome visitors, we have hosted visitors from different parts of the world but mostly Australia, Us and England, including this year's visit by Australian high commission to kenya. we'd love to host more visitors from all over the world.
