In the news

Hi everyone.

Since I don't ever really get a chance to search the internet, I just came across an article on street life for children in Kenya. Kenya has a huge problem with homelessness, poverty and trafficking in the face of ongoing political unrest. While my experience has been limited to meeting kids on the streets of Arusha and Moshi, I am not as familiar with conditions in Kenya. However, this article is a very honest account, although short. But I was still happy to come across it and thankful (Happy Thanksgiving) that these issues are appearing more in the news. I can only hope that childrens' rights and exploitation will be given more attention with time. Here's a link to the article:

In other news the rains have come back in full force and our front yard is now a lake. I've heard rumors of desert land in the west and the south flooding and there have sadly been a few deaths. Pretty crazy to say the least.

All the best...
