The Work Between Words — July with Tamarind.
We kicked off 2026 by stepping away from our desks and into nature. This year’s team retreat took us to The Last Village, a peaceful eco-lodge tucked away from the noise of Nairobi. Surrounded by greenery, fresh air, and stillness, it was the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and start the New year.
There is something powerful about changing your environment. Conversations feel easier. Ideas come more freely. People show up more fully. Over two days, we took time to reflect on our journey so far, reconnect as a team, and to consider where we are headed. Away from deadlines, we created space for honest conversations, shared laughter, and meaningful reflection.
A Moment to Reset
One of the most meaningful parts of the retreat was simply being together. We shared stories, lessons, and moments that reminded us how much growth happens behind the scenes.
These moments help us realign not just around goals, but around purpose. They remind us that progress is not only about output, but about mindset, relationships, and the energy we bring into what we do.
Refocused for What Matters Most
We left The Last Village feeling refreshed and more connected as a team. The retreat gave us clarity and renewed focus, but most importantly, it reminded us why we do what we do.
When we take the time to reset, reflect, and grow together, we show up better in every space that matters. Stronger alignment internally means better experiences externally.
As we move into 2026, that renewed energy is ultimately for one purpose. To serve our clients with great care, and excellence in everything we do.
The popular Christopher & Jonathan Seex Memorial Trophy golf tournament was held at the Nyali Golf and Country Club near Mombasa on Sunday 19th October. We had 94 entrants, a huge increase from last year’s fifty-four. Playing conditions were perfect.
The competition was generously supported by sponsors and their banners were a colourful addition to the course and near the clubhouse.
The winner of the Tournament was Mr. Rishi Shah, from Nyali Club. He received a replica sculpture of the magnificent lilac breasted roller, the national bird of Kenya.
Over KShs.600,000 was raised. This money will be divided equally between the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Mombasa branch), and the Future Hope Education and Community Hub, which supports children and adults in the Vipingo Village.
Our owner, Britt-Marie Seex, says this competition and the charity are close to her heart.
Supporting the Vipingo Village Fund
Part of the tournament proceeds go to the Vipingo Village Fund, which has been changing lives in the community for over 20 years. It began as the Future Hope Montessori School, educating hundreds of children, and has now evolved into the Future Hope Education and Community Hub. The Hub continues to support children and adults through education, mentorship, and structured activities.
Feeding Programme and Community Impact
A key focus of the Hub is providing nutritious meals to children in a safe and welcoming environment. This ensures they have the stability and energy needed for learning and play. On regular days, up to 40 children are served. During school holidays and programs such as football camps, chess, Taekwondo, and online English lessons, this number grows to around 80. The Hub provides a supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive, particularly during long school breaks.
Through contributions like those from the Christopher and Jonathan Seex Memorial Trophy, the Vipingo Village Fund continues to make a tangible difference in the community.
For Tamarind Language Services, supporting initiatives like this is more than sponsorship. It reflects our
commitment to giving back to communities and causes that are close to our hearts. Being part of events
that make a real impact underscores the values we bring to every project and partnership.
