Months
might have passed and the distance between them standing at thousands of miles,
but the seed of friendship planted between Red Rose School and Summer
Volunteers 2012 is blossoming into a beautiful flower.
In
September and October, our executive director traveled to Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, and Louisiana on behalf of the foundation. He spread the
message of Children of Kibera to many friends, new and old, and brought back
home good news of their ongoing support for the children in Kenya.
Smiles
coming from deep down were evident as the students received gifts from America.
An acute sense of belonging and appreciation filled the classes, to
reciprocate, they never hesitated to write letters and send drawings to their
counterparts. "Thanks for the book, letter and t-shirt, I loved them very
much, I really like the shirt" said Quinter in her reply letter.
These
friendships across cultures and nations give our children a new perspective to
the world and nurture them as global citizens. Let the relationship be a long
lasting one, even beyond schooling years.
