wangari

Wangari took great pleasure in showing us where she lived, and as we all piled into the back of the 4WD to make our way there she and Tabitha sang exuberantly all the way. Once the car had gone as far as it could we again faced the mud on foot, Wangari holding my hand to lead the way. Her home was much larger than those we'd seen the day before, however she came from a larger family. After the formal welcoming and thank you from her parents she said 'I am happy to see you with my own eyes'.

My own eyes started to well up at that point.
