Johnny Whysky: SRP Coordinator
My name is David Kenyi. My friends call me “Johnny Whysky” and together with Laura Green we are the SRP Coordinators for this academic year. Our role is to engage directly with the sponsored students from the time they arrive in Canada till the end of their sponsorship though we also continue to provide support thereafter. We help them in various aspects as they settle and integrate into the Canadian society. Being previously a sponsored student, I provide a first-hand experience and help the new students wherever they need it. I am motivated to be with WUSC-Carleton Local Committee to give back to the Carleton community and I look forward to having an amazing year full of exciting activities.

I have been volunteering for WUSC in various capacities for the last three years, and am very excited to be working with Johnny to support this year's sponsored students and prepare for future sponsorships. My personal goal for the year is to plan more social and cultural activities for the sponsored students and committee members throughout the year.
