Kwaheri Kenya

Our trip to Kenya has been life changing. The diversity of our experiences has allowed us to gain so many different perspectives. Our eyes were opened to poverty, drought stricken conditions, and unique tribal cultures. Our experience on the mobiles gave us so much insight. It was our window into the hardships of a life so common in Africa. We were touched to see that a life so simple could bring so much joy and unity. We saw the spirit of Africa.

We also lived the life of privileged locals. The enormous disparity between rich and poor is immense and blatant. It impacted us deeply and made us appreciate the strive for equality in Canada. We feel so lucky and grateful in our lives.

We will never forget our time in Kenya. What we learned will live within us each and every day. We see life now with a new light.

Kwaheri (goodbye) Kenya, we will miss you!

p.s. We climbed a mountain.
