History
Kenya Deaf Children Trust was founded in Belfast in 2005 by Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa and Katrina Gwynne-Jones.
It started with Catherine Healey visiting Kenya many years ago to help with teacher training at Kerugoya School for the Deaf.
Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa and Monica Clarke went over in 2000 - Katrina Gwynne-Jones and Rebecah Taylor went over - Kibra Tayes went too. Fiona McLean and Matthew went.
Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa and Monica Clarke have discussed the idea of setting up the organisation in 2000 soon after their voluntary work but it was never taken seriously until Katrina etc...
Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa have resigned from the Board as the Chair on 1st April 2007.
At the last Board meeting (taken place in Craigavon), it was agreed by all Trustees to close down Kenya Deaf Children Trust on Thursday 17th May 2007 due to internal politics, inexperience and poor communication.
