Sharon Runge
Executive Director, U.S.
Mutanu is Sharon's Kikamba name given to her first trip to Wamunyu; meaning “one who is always happy.” She began serving as Executive Director in July 2014. A long-time Kenya Connect volunteer and donor, Sharonhas traveled to Wamunyu eleven times, nine of those with teams of volunteers.
With a doctorate in Higher Education as well as a strong background in development, she shares her talents to expand the impact of Kenya Connect, to strengthen education, and to open new doors for the students of Wamunyu. As an avid reader, Sharon is delighted that the LRC houses a small library. Sharon, her husband Mike, and their children Emma and Roan enjoy hiking and traveling. She continues to be in awe of the Kenya Connect Wamunyu staff and the work they have done to improve the entire community. |
