My name is William Karkar, a 24-year-old student at Wildlife Tourism College (WTC) and currently serving as the President. I was born and raised in Imbitin village, where I began my educational journey at Olesere Primary School before proceeding to Talek Boys High School.

My academic journey has not been without challenges, particularly financial constraints that made it difficult to sustain my education. However, through determination and resilience, I was fortunate to receive a scholarship that enabled me to complete my secondary education. These experiences have shaped my character, strengthening my commitment to perseverance, leadership, and service to others.

Driven by a deep passion for nature and conservation, I joined Wildlife Tourism College to pursue a course in Tour Guiding and Travel Operations. My aspiration is to become a professional tour guide who not only showcases the beauty of wildlife but also inspires younger generations to appreciate and actively participate in conservation efforts.

As President of WTC, I am committed to leading with integrity, responsibility, and inclusivity. I strive to represent the student body effectively, promote unity, and foster an environment that supports both academic excellence and personal growth.

I extend my sincere appreciation to our sponsors for making our education possible, the school management for their strong leadership and commitment to quality training, and the Basecamp Foundation for their significant role in establishing and continuously supporting the college.

My name is Jackline Nampaso, a student at Wildlife Tourism College (WTC) and currently serving as the Deputy President. I am 26 years old, born and raised in Ewaso Ng’iro, Narok South, in a small village called Oldoinyo Orasha. Growing up as the firstborn in a polygamous family with many siblings, life was challenging, with limited resources and heavy responsibilities placed on a single breadwinner.

Despite these challenges, I pursued my education with determination, attending Oldoinyo Orasha Primary School, often walking long distances and at times going without basic necessities. Through resilience and commitment, I progressed to high school, although financial constraints delayed my transition to college.

In 2021, I joined the Wildlife Research and Training Institute, where I pursued a course in Tourism Management. After graduating, I got married in Talek, Mpuai Village, Narok West, and I am now a proud mother of one. My passion for nature, conservation, and understanding the environment inspired me to further my studies in Tour Guiding at Wildlife Tourism College.

As Deputy President at WTC, I strive to lead with integrity, empathy, and accountability. My background has shaped me into a compassionate and resilient leader who understands the challenges faced by students from underserved communities. I am committed to representing student voices, fostering unity, and creating a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages both academic and personal growth.

I am particularly passionate about mentoring and empowering young girls to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams with confidence. I believe in leading by example and contributing positively to both the college and the wider community.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our sponsors for making our education possible, the school management for their strong leadership and commitment to quality education, and the Basecamp Foundation for their vital role in establishing and continuously supporting this institution
