Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has officially been appointed the Good Deeds Ambassador by an Israel-based organization for his generosity in helping the needy.
Last December, an Israeli delegation, led by Good Deeds Global Chief Executive officer Kaynan Rabino, said they will name Sonko their Good Deeds Ambassador for a three-year period.
On Friday, Sonko was officially crowned the Good Deeds Ambassador at the ceremony attended by Israel Ambassador to Kenya Noah Gal Gendler and the Global CEO of Good Deeds and Vice President of Vision Ventures Kaynan Rabino at Hilton Hotel, Nairobi.
Other guests who attended the ceremony included Good Deeds Kenya Representative, Fredrick Sadia, and the Chairman of Safaricom Foundation, George Ogutu.

In his acceptance speech, Sonko said he supports the mission of getting people to volunteer and choose to help others.
“This is a noble cause that will make the world a better place, and improve the lives of our fellow men and women,” said the Nairobi Governor.
Sonko said he believes the main reason why he is the Governor of the Nairobi today is because of good deeds he has done to majority of Nairobians and the Kenyans at large.
