Update Jan 5

Took a break away from the internet today, before my guys started to forget what I looked like

Yesterday afternoon, I attended a meeting of a small group of concerned Kenyan citizens at the Kenyan High Commission. The recently appointed ambassador to SA chaired the meeting. We arrived a bit late so I missed […]

Update Jan 3 11:00 pm

We arrived safely in Joburg earlier this evening. The trip to the airport was one of the scariest moments in my life. Though we had planned to leave for the airport early in the morning even though the flight left late in the afternoon, winding up took much longer then we expected and we found […]

Update – Burnt Forest/Eldoret Jan 1 11:45 pm (Edit)
