As I prepare to go back to Kenya I am excited, but I also realize that with 4 new team members it will be very life changing for them. They will interface with many orphans, students, AIDS widows, grandmothers raising children, street kids, Masaai women and teachers working with few supplies. They will work at health clinics and see children ill from worms, starvation, and stomach ailments - things that are just not common in our society where we have plenty.
They will learns the importance of water and how wasteful we are in our society and they will come to understand how valuable a commodity that food is in Kenya where people are now dying of starvation because of the drought.
The number one killer in North America is overeating and the complications it brings. The number one killer in Africa is starvation due to the lack of food and without food the susceptibility to diseases.
We will do what we can while we are there and hopefully be ambassadors for Canada and for peace.
