The event which brought together Kenyan families and friends of the Kenyan community in Ghana, formed part of efforts to foster unity among Kenyan nationals in Ghana.

The Family Fun Day Games also provided an opportunity for attendees to deepen cross-cultural appreciation and friendship. Through lively conversations, shared experiences, and mutual respect, participants forged new connections and strengthened existing bonds, embodying the spirit of unity that defines the community.

Gracing the occasion, Kenyan High Commissioner to Ghana, H.E. Eliphas Barine, noted that the event would go a long way to cement the relationship between Ghana and Kenya thereby setting the stage for mutually beneficial partnerships between both nations.

“Celebrating the inaugural Family Fun Day Games organized by the Kenyans in Ghana Association is a remarkable testament to the unifying power of culture and community. Seeing Kenyans come together and being supported by sponsors from both Kenya and Ghana, in such a joyous atmosphere reaffirms the strong bonds between our nations. As we continue to nurture this spirit of collaboration, I am confident that our partnership will flourish, creating even greater opportunities for mutual understanding and cooperation between our two nations,” he stated.
