Dr. Andrew Chibeu
Deputy President
Having spent most of my life as a Kenyan living in the diaspora, I have my heart in the various places I have called home (so far 9 cities in three continents) during this period. All these places have impacted my life in different ways and have a special place in my heart. My Canadian experience story is not complete without considering the role Abeingo Association Canada played welcoming and providing the all-important support I needed as a new immigrant. Through its various initiatives, Abeingo Association Canada has supported the community here in Canada as well as in Kenya. I am honored to serve in the board of the Association as a vice-president, this being one of the best platform to give back to the community.
