Women`s International Volleyball - Canada vs USA. Ejaz S. Karamali

Athletes got an early start today, since most sports kicked off at 7:00 AM at various venues around Nairobi. Known for their friendly rivalry, the USA vs. Canada Women's International Volleyball game drew a large audience in full voice. (Click here for scores.)

Among non-sport events taking place during the day, a group of participants travelled to the lakeside town of Naivasha to join the Habitat for Humanity Community Service project. The non-profit organisation conducts housing improvement projects in poverty stricken areas. Another group took in the second AKDN excursion to the Frigoken agro-processing factory, which is an example of how the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development encourages socially and environmentally conscious sustainable development.

In the evening, participants enjoyed a “Movie under the Stars” which featured a special screening of Mawlana Hazar Imam's Golden Jubilee visit to the United States.
