Volunteer at Kakayando organic farm in Kenya โ My name is Felix Akicho, I’m the younger son in our family of two brothers and four sisters. We live in the western part of Kenya. I’m a community permaculture leader and my mission is to bring permaculture fully to my community since we are a group of small farmers facing changing weather patterns and relative isolation.
