Hey,
Happy new year my "lovelies" I know its late to wish you happy new but better late than never.
Hope you are all doing well by God's Grace for we are nothing without Him.
Please have a look at my post and feel free to comment below on the comment section below. Have a wonderful weekend.
I strolled down the streets of the city. The lights looked
beautiful, the stars looked just perfect. I knew it was late but sort of I had
nowhere else to go to. I had already scheduled the event for the children’s
home with the girls. The main donor for the whole charity project had just
turned me down, a bunch of street kids at one room house in need of help, I
felt hopeless. The kids were probably never going to make it there, and I must
have been crazy to start the whole thing in the first place.
There was this particular baby girl I had an interest in. she
did not have much to say about her parents, only that mom told her.
“Atamwendesha kwa ndege”.
She came looking frail had no absolute idea of what a daddy
is. she explained,”Mamangu aliniambia nikiwa na Wajomba wengi sihitaji baba”.
She kept talking about her dream throughout the whole visit.
She promised me a gift after the visit, and I was damn
curious to see it.
The children were happy, they had no absolute idea there was
lack from their providers, all they cared about was the safe roof over their
head and what they would eat. They looked clean not exactly poshed, jovial for
I could not spoil them, they felt assured of safety from the big guys in the
streets of Nairobi. I could not give them a big cozy bed but they felt warmer
than the cold breeze of Nairobi. I felt satisfied, challenged to reach out to
more of them.
I opened the piece of paper handed to me,
Maisha yangu ingekuwa kama movie, ningepata babangu, niendeshe
ndege.
If my life was a cinema, and would my tickets sell out, I would
win an award, would the reviews matter, or they would overrule it.
I know if it was my wish I would want to make the kids in
the streets happy.
With determination, I called up the next investor I found
online.
“Excuse me.”
