Omondi Peter in 2016

INTRODUCTION.

I am a young Animal Scientist, Digital and Viral Marketer, a Graphic Designer,  a lifelong Scout, a  Rotaractor and the Founder - C.E.O of Global Youth Forum Kenya.

I am the first borne son and a second born child in a family of 6 children (Seline Atieno, Lilian Awino, Martin Oloo, Charles Ochien'g and Millicent Akinyi).

My upbringing by my Mum (Anjeline Awuor) and my Dad, (the late Lucas Omolo) - May his soul rest in peace - has given me conviction in my abilities, grounded in humility and Faith.

I am a proud Kenyan and a true son of Siaya County, my main goal is to contribute towards making the World a better  place by Empowering and Developing the Youth around the globe in all aspects of life (Education, Sports and Entertainment, Talent Development, Agribusiness, Youth Leadership & Development, Professional Development, Disaster Awareness & Preparedness, Basic Health Care & Management, Peace Projects, Environmental Projects). 

My early years have shown me that money alone cannot be a source of happiness, but I firmly believe in great ideas that can lead to the creation of money as a tool that can be used for development of the World and make our Communities better than they were 30, even 10 years ago. To me it is those with great ideas that are rich and happy but not those with a complete focus on money. The two must work together at all levels and that why I am where I am today because of other people's belief in my potential and their sacrifices to sponsor me though my education and technical training.  Thanks to God for all He has done to me.

I am very dynamic, responsible, open minded, social, team player, a resource mobilizer, eager to learn and venture into new fields and keen to networking opportunities that will lead to the growth of my Country and the World at large.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND. 

University Education (2010- 2014).

I am a graduate from the University of Nairobi College of Agriculture &Veterinary Sciences Animal Production Department (Animal Science Class -2014).  This is a Bachelor’s Degree Programme relating to the best practices, management, feeding, breeding and handling of all domestic animals in addition to the manufacturing and marketing of products and by-products.
The Course comprised of 62 units leading to the award of the Degree. I graduated with a Second Class Honours Upper Division.

Among the 62 Course Units I really loved was Agricultural Marketing & International Agricultural Trade. 
This was a big challenge and one again I made it through Gods grace, care and protection. Thanks to Mum, Dad (RIP),

Extension Scout Project Programme Western Region & Timu Rafiki  2009 Great London South East County Scouts Council, Michael Hart, Jenny Hart ,Vicky Clare, Ben Richardson ( County Commissioner ) and  from Kenya Scouts Association, Dr Steve Foster, for supporting me all the way - I would not have made it this far without you. May God bless all of you in all you do. Since graduating, to Dr. Foster thanks so much for the work opportunities, skills exposure, mentorship, care and support, be blessed in all you do. 

African Institute of Research and Professional studies 2008-2010

 Information Technology

I went to the above College immediately after completion of Secondary School exams as I had a passion for information technology and wanted to know much more about the computers and how they work. It was great learning opportunity as I got to know much about computer software and hardware systems. I learn both the Base Module (Computer Essentials, Online Essentials, Word processing, and Spread sheet) and Standard  Modules (Presentation, Using Databases, Web editing, Image Editing, Project Planning, Information Security, Online Collaboration and Graphic design). All this have been useful in my career at University and my daily actions and responsibilities. This platform has ultimately led to my certification as an ICDL Accredited Tester.

Kenya Certificate of Primary Education 1993 - 2003.

I went to Sikan'g Primary School in Siaya County, where I scored a mean grade of a B- (Minus) that secured myplace at Secondary School for further studies. Thanks to my teachers ( My nursery teacher Madam Elizabeth, Class one Teacher. Mrs Mudhune, Science Teacher Mr. Oduor (RIP),Kiswahili Mr. Aha Omondi - RIP, English Teacher Mr. Ochanda - RIP, Maths teacher (Mr. Okola). All that shaped me to face the challenges of the world and be a change agent. It gave me the determination to be a Good Scout.
