When I walk into a shack in the Nakuru slums to meet the family of a child who has recently been registered on the Live and Learn in Kenya International program I do not see a sickly, hungry, pinched little child - I see a future teacher - doctor - lawyer - electrician - hairdresser - mechanic - President of Kenya!
If, if, if - if only a child was given what every human being has rights to have - food, water, education, loving care - they wouldn't be out on the streets begging, stealing, selling their little bodies, or working for a smidge of small coins to buy a cob of maize to ease their hunger a bit - or even worse - an aerosol can to inhale and forget the world and all of its horrors for a little while!
Children are the world's future and we all have the responsibility to provide them with everything that they need to become fine, educated, caring adults. They will all pass it forward in some way - either to their own children and grandchildren one day - or... who knows - maybe as a teacher, doctor, lawyer, electrician, hairdresser, mechanic - or even the President of Kenya!
That's the wonderful thing about helping children to be all that they can be - you just never know what they really can be when given the chance.
At Live and Learn in Kenya International we have taken the responsibility into our many, many hands to make this possible for each and every child who turns up at our gate!
Asante Sana for your kind support - thank you so much.
