3 February 2011 Sometimes people retell a joke and it goes flat. Then they say, “you had to be there”. I will try my best to bring you here, but I suspect I may fall flat. To be here in Nambale is to be at the heart of the real Africa. Many dream of Africa, [...]
1 February 2011 Just like old times I love children. It has been a while since I have worked with little ones. The babies at KMET were a delight. It was very difficult for them to tolerate a white face. At 9 months they don’t notice but by 16 months (right on time for stranger [...]
31 January 2011 I forget how huge the sky is here. Francis and I left on a beautiful morning, today. It was dry and just about the perfect temperature. Once we wangled out of the city traffic the sky and clouds spread before us for miles. We climbed the rift and down into Masaai territory [...]

I really don’t have to comment on this. It’s so appalling that I’ll let the article speak for itself.How anyone could go to Gaddafi for help in a Human Rights quest is beyond the ridiculous. Musyoka is one of the gang of government folks in Kenya who were accused of War Crimes by the ICC. [...]
Sometimes the ideology of Africa stuns me. It hurts so much that I forget and need to be reminded.
I love some of the ways Kenyan English works. One of them is to take nouns and make them verbs. So I am readying. My Kenya mobile phone is charging right now, I am pulling out my ksh and my phone cards. Start taking the anti-malarials in a couple of days, press the Ketange, and [...]
