We congratulate Esther on this huge recognition, which represents hundreds of other volunteers in Kenya,” read the statement.<\/p>\n

On her part, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the award in Kenya, Nellie Munala, congratulated the German teacher for her recognition stating that she had a positive impact on the lives of her students.<\/p>\n

\u201cEsther has demonstrated self-determination and served her immediate community and beyond selflessly. A true spirit of the African saying \u2018I am because you are!\u201d Munala stated.<\/p>\n
