My kids

Like reading the definition of autism from a textbook and then meeting a child with autism, I hadn't fully understood what it's like to experience the midnight sun. It's freakin me out, actually, that it's 12am and it's twilight. About 10 people are still up and very active (I'd include me cept I'm falling asleep at the keyboard) at this hostel. And yes, of the 10 of us, there's only one other girl (but have you heard the saying, "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."?)

Anyway, I have been perpetually exhausted since Kenya and trying to catch up with this life so I will make this post short, and just introduce you all to my kids.


This is Brian Tajeuo. He is a rambunctious 5-year-old in the nursery class who loves to volunteer even if he doesn't know what he's volunteering for. Loves attention yet shy at the same time. Cute, sweet, and happens to have a cleft palate.





Lerionka Ololgisoi is in class 2. I began sponsoring him last year without having met him yet. Among my options, I chose him almost purely because I liked his name. It's fun to say (it's a Maasai name). Very shy.





They are $365 each to sponsor, which clothes, feeds, shelters, and educates them for an entire year.

A dollar a day, to give a child a chance at life.
