A year ago today I went home to Kenya, a day later than I was due to arrive. I can’t believe it has been a year, I can’t believe I’m not going back this summer. Instead of dwelling on how incredibly sad I am today, I wanted to post some videos and pictures that I haven’t posted before.
Cheesy people say home is where the heart is, but I know quite a few people who have half their hearts at Daraja and half in the US (plus one Canadian – Hi Pamela!) Daraja is the only place that could take me away from New York, and New York the only place that could make me leave Daraja.
I’m sure I will be begging for fundraising help some time soon, but for now I’m looking for anyone who has support my past trips to consider helping me with a project!! Since I feel incredibly guilty that I can’t be there this summer, I’m making a video about my life in New York to send to the girls at Daraja. The girls have been posting youtube videos about life at Daraja, and I think it would be great to have Daraja supports send them some videos! I know they would LOVE to hear from all of you, so consider making a short video clip about yourself and your love for Daraja and send it to me! I could also use some video editing advice!
All men should strive
to learn before they die
what they are running from, and to, and why.
