Speaking during the handing over, Lake Turkana Wind Power Site Manager, Henk Bosman, underscored the vital role that teachers play in communities, stating that he owes his success to his teachers. “Teachers are among the most important members of our community. They give children purpose, set them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire in them a drive to do well and succeed in life. I’m also not an exception. I am a result of a teacher who patiently taught me what I needed to know.”
