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.
