watu wakenya

stunning
strong
courageous
determined
selfless

this grandmother lost all of her children to HIV/AIDs
and is raising all her grandchildren.
when she should be retired and resting
she is gathering firewood
and hauling water
and changing nappies.

and she is still grateful
and lives with joy

humbling me

everyday grace


i want to begin sharing the stories of my year in kenya that had a profound impact on me.

the people of kenya often saved me from myself.

enjoy the coming blog posts as a celebration of a life changed in kenya.

mine.
