Your words bring me to tears when I read them. Not of sadness, but those of joy.
I am very glad that you and Jenni are doing such a selfless thing for these girls. If it were for me; I would be very grateful, and for that I am glad to be able to participate in the Daraja-Academy Club at Hogan again this year.

When I saw you this morning, walking into your old classroom, I teared up. I haven’t seen you since graduation last year, while you were sitting upon that stage with the class of 2008. Me, and many others at Hogan really miss you, but are glad that you are gone for a good cause.
Unfortunately you will not be here for very long, it is great that everyone had a chance to see you. :)

By the way, I am looking forward to visiting you in Africa, and getting to see the girls. I really want to see their smiling faces once the school opens. You and Jenni are doing a great thing for those girls. Good Luck with year 1.

So many words and thoughts have come to me as I read about The Daraja Academy, and the true partnership that you and Jenni have developed together. How truly amazing to see your dreams become a reality. You must always follow your heart to create and accomplish the greatest good. I hope and pray all the time that my children and my husband will one day have the opportunity to not only know you, but really have the opportunity to have you in their hearts (and visa versa). Your hearts are so large and i am so proud to know you and now see your biggest dreams become reality.
Some day, when I’m awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you!

As I was reading your post, the one thought that crowded my mind was, You are experiencing such an amazing time in your life because you have EARNED it.

All of the things that you have suffered through in your have delivered this moment to you. But remember that nothing is permanent and attachments can be dangerous.

Enjoy the miracles you have cultivated; you deserve them, but remember that “This too will pass.” Only for life to present you the next stage.

I am trying to get a hold of you or your wife to find out if you will be in Kenya in early December. I want to come visit. It is 99.9% a sure thing. Just give me the word and I will buy my ticket. I can come for a week after December 4th, I was thinking the 5th.

Shoot me an email with details and your phone number too.
