Back in Nairobi

First day back in Nairobi. Walked onto a soccer field to see 50 kids, from all over Kibera, who showed up early on a Saturday morning to jump rope. The trainers here are running sessions six days a week, with regular attendance from the entire group. It took me about 15 minutes to stop smiling.

Last day in Moshi for a while...

Last day in Moshi before heading up to Nairobi. Zee, Leps, and Keo...I don't think I can thank you enough for all you did for these kids here. I'll try to post a video sometime in the next few days. Tanzania anaruka!
