Oh, what a journey it has been to date. A rollercoaster of a journey of emotions, hard work, frustration, depths of despair, disappointments, challenges, rewards, disbelief at some things in Kenya (most of the time), overwhelming kindness, generosity, love, sleepless nights, never-ending worry, long hours, heartache, stress, ongoing support, more challenges, more frustrations, and you ask is it all worth it? An overwhelming
YES. To be able to make a change in a child's life and other's lives make all of the above worthwhile. I've developed skills I never knew I had and made so many friendships along the way with like-minded people.
My mum showed me a poem the other day which was titled 'The Dash.' Umoja is my 'Dash.' It is hard to believe I started this project 9 years ago on the 30th of July.
Read 'The Dash.' It is very difficult not to be able to return to Kenya this year to see our children.
