BBO EDUCATIONAL FUND

Brian before his untimely death attended J. Sargeant Community College where he majored in engineering while tutoring other students in mathematics. His other accomplishments included Halala USA where he served as the secretary of Virginia Chapter and Youth Coordinator Halala USA. He was a member of Chin Ya Mti Group in New Jersey and wanted to start his own in Virginia. He was also the captain of his basketball team at Alphax College and Volunteered at Grove Avenue Baptist Church. He leaves to cherish his memories with his mother Rose Apeli Ballard, his sister Flora Achiko, Grandmother Florence Mungo, Uncles, Aunties, Cousins, Grandparents, In-Lawa, Nieces, Nephews and Friends.

Brian Ochunyi Foundation will be founded on October 24th 2009 through mini fundraising efforts to be conducted by Chini Ya Mti Group from New Jersey. The Group intends to sell T. Shirts ruffle tickets and disco on his memorial day and are inviting all those who knew Barnabas to help in this efforts.

The move is to be able to identify children from western kenya whose interest is in mathematics and science subjects and are not able to pay for their tuition to become beneficiaries of the fund. Beneficiaries will in turn contribute to the fund to support the next.

Halala USA intends to help identify such students during our conference at the end of the year in Kakamega, Busia, Bungoma and Vihiga. We are also apealing to well wishers to donate to the fund.
