In May 2019 the Tune In Foundation expanded its borders and touched down on African soil for the first time! Through a parternship with Global Youth Groove, our Executive Director Dejehan Hamilton spoke at two schools in Nairobi, Kenya and a school in Kakamega, Kenya. During the two-week tour, Dejehan also worked with the Global Youth Groove youth band preparing them for a concert that he had the opportunity to headline. In addition, Dejehan led a music workshop that was open to the public and saw attendance from many local musicians within the Kakamega community. This was a ground breaking moment for the Tune In Foundation and was a great opportunity to pour into youth on a global scale. We look forward to continuing this relationship and expanding into new global communities!

Our Executive Director Dejehan Hamilton had the opportunity to present a keynote speech at this year's KW Conference in Kitchener-Waterloo. The KW Conference was held for the Kitchener-Waterloo Counselling Service staff who took the day to recharge, listening to a lineup of speakers and participating in activities as part of their retreat. Dejehan spoke about how important it is for a counselor to have a counselor. He outlined how when you are someone of service, it can be hard to build a support system for Self. Dejehan spoke on the formula to happiness and unhappiness to ensure that staff would always be able to adjust when the psychological, emotional, and physical pressures of their demanding job become too much. He was well received by the audience and represented the Tune In Foundation well.
