why i am here
Today I took the local bus ( the ma-ta-tu) to the Children's Center of Maji Mazuri. The Children's Center is where Maji Mazuri takes children in with special needs. I am overwhelmed with emotion. This center is like a little piece of hope, when hope was not an option for these kids. I was told several horrible stories about how the kids were treated prior to being brought to the center. One little girl was tied to a tree for her whole life until Maji Mazuri recused her. You can see the scars from where the rope kept her tight to the tree. I wish I could write more but my mind is elsewhere right now. I know why I'm here now.

There are some teardrops on my keyboard. The smiles on the faces of these children are exactly as I imagined they would be in your presence. Just look at them! NOW you're home. Your commitment take my breath away. You go, girl.
