Journey Of Hope

18 years ago my life was devastated by a famine that left many people dead and homeless, i cradled in the cold not knowing what the future looked like my hopes and dreams were replaced by the need to survive. 

This set the stage for a journey that brought ''light at the end of the tunnel.''

I left for the city from a small village 300 kilometers from the capital city of kenya. I went to the city in the hope i would get something to do and maybe earn a living. On getting there all i could do was sit idle and watch the fiasco in the slums as i was only 7 years old.

It was while living in this slum called Kibera in Kenya that i heard of a selection by an organisation for needy children called Music for life.
I went there and when i got there i was amazed by the number of children who had come for the same purpose. I was among the 30 selected and left fot the United states where we toured and helped raise support for many needy children in africa. 

Today i can happily say am a graduate in Business Administration all through the support of Music For Life.

To Give back am currently a full time volunteer for the organisation in North America.
