Vincent has written an introduction of himself:

My name is Vincent Okeyo, I was born in Rusinga Island, Kenya, in East Africa. I had my earlier primary and secondary education in Nyanza area of Kenya before proceeding for a diploma in sales and marketing in the capital, Nairobi. In the early 90s, I worked as a sales representative in a family owned business in Nairobi, Kenya. By mid 90s, specifically 1995, I had a scholarship to study forestry Mechanics in Finland. Swedish was the language of instruction for this studies and in that particular institute hence I had to be competent in Swedish before starting this studies. This I did by enrolling for a language course in Kronoby Folkhogskola. After my graduation from Forestry Mechanics studies, I did enrol at Vasa University of Applied Sciences to study for a bachelors degree in Business Administration, majors in International Business. 
In the year 2001, I graduated from this institution and pursued a post graduate Diploma in International Cooperation at st.Micheal University of Applied Sciences. I have also studied hotel receptionist and conference at Åland Hotel and Restaurant School. Between 2007-2008, I was abroad in United States studying to become a Development Instructor. After my graduation I came back to Finland where I have been having short and periodic employment here and there. My last work was with Mariehamns stad where I had a two year contract.
Currently, I am enrolled and the Medborgarinstitutet (Medis) institute for a years course in Intergration .ax. hence my location at Åland Peace Institute for my practical attachment.
