Competition heated up today with the start of quarter final matches. See Sports Action for details.

In non-sport events, participants volunteering as part of the community service project spent a second day near Naivasha building houses with Habitat for Humanity. Those joining today’s Aga Khan Development Network excursion visited the Nairobi Serena Hotel. Participants learned about Tourism Promotion Services, and the role of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development within the larger AKDN framework.

In the evening, Moi International Sports Centre played host to two night games. The first was a women’s international volleyball match played between Canada and Syria in which the Syrians prevailed. On the football pitch, Kenya took on USA and much to the delight of the home crowd, the hosts came out on top. In a touching moment of sportsmanship, the two teams paraded through the grounds with each others flags after the game.
