KENYA!!!
I can't believe I'm actually going!!! I leave Mon. a.m., bright and early for the adventure of a lifetime!!! I am so excited, nervous, humbled and still in a bit of disbelief!
I will be meeting some incredible people and learning so much!!! Look at these vibrant, beautiful women!
And these amazing Maasai tribal men! Oh My Goodness!!
What started with a funny little Facebook post has turned into an adventure of a lifetime!!
I will be meeting Maasai Tribal Midwives while in Kenya as well as distributing Day For Girls International menstrual kits to girls in need. In fact, with the help of many of my friends and family members, I've been able to raise $2500 for these washable, reusable kits. Each kit costs approx $10 US and will last a young woman 3-4 yrs!!! Incredible!!! I've recently been able to send some of the donations directly to Kenya and the kits are currently in production. So, when I arrive on Tuesday, I can hit the ground running!! Over 200 girls will receive these kits. My heart could burst with joy.
This woman is sewing one of the pads. Look at that beautiful, colorful fabric!
I can hardly wait to meet her!!
