Hannah, Owen and I are headed to the Alps in Switzerland, and on a train where you drive on and park, so were in the car but on the train..crazyness. We just got back from Africa, and I cant even put on paper our experiences, but i'll try... It was such a culture/reality shock of what's really going on in third world countries. You see on television those commercials of skinny kids with no food, and yea I always change the channel. When that kid is holding your hand and your hearing his story and meeting his family and seeing where he lives, its no longer surreal and you can't just change the channel. We met one boy that has HIV and he's only 8. We played with over 2,000 kids that have never seen a white person in their life, we talked with girls that ran away from home fearing marriage and FGM at only 10 years of age. There were so many times in the trip I cried, and there were so many times I was laughing uncontrollably... Even though we only had the word Jambo in common with them, we still found a way to connect through teaching, animating and singing. I will never forget teaching 50+ kids the words to Bob Marley's song "Don't worry...every things going to be alright..." These people have nothing, barely a home, yet they were the happiest people I have ever met in my life. I learned so much from them and their high spirits, I think everyone has something to learn over in Kirindon. Kwaheynoow & Much Love :)
Thanks Hannah for giving me the experience of a lifetime and for giving life to hundreds in Kenya and soon millions across the world.
