Liberal
“I want to recognize Beyond Hoops Africa and its leader, James Kamau. His group is based in Surrey and helps people in Kenya get clean water, build sports facilities, and protect the environment.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, as we celebrated Africa Day yesterday, I would like to recognize the impactful work of Beyond Hoops Africa under the leadership of James Kamau. Rooted in Surrey’s African diaspora, this organization represents the power of community-driven development across borders. Through initiatives in Kenya, it is expanding access to clean water, building sports facilities and promoting environmental stewardship. Equally important, it is creating meaningful opportunities for Canadians to engage in global citizenship and support sustainable change. Its work reflects the very best of collaboration, compassion and leadership, strengthening ties between Canada and Africa while empowering youth and communities toward a brighter future.
