[HRAP Kenya] Sorry I'm late
Hey it's O'tillia, Sorry I'm late for the post Kenya reflection. It's been hard adjusting to a different environment after we came back and I realize that things are just not the same. I miss Kenya sooooo much that I really wish we were still there. I've come back to homework, and boredom but I haven't stopped seeing my Kenya family. We've gotten so close that they are a second family that I don't and won't ever forget. I really want to thank Kevin for making this trip possible, without you I would not have had a different life for two weeks and a culture shock as well. Catherine also deserves some thanks because she helped get things ready before we came and without her we would not be a complete family. And Tabitha thank you soooo much for coming with us, not only because you filmed it and kept our experience real but because you were a huge contribution to the trip. Meeting people like the kids from Kibera (a slum located in Kenya) that were so smart and influential to the trip (working with Youth Alive Kenya), or the women from the Kikuyu village working together with the Green Belt Movement to make trees sustain their lives as well as their families, or those girls from ADRA that brought Gabriel to "tears", or the little kids from the MYSA library that we read for (or vice versa actually) and those teens that danced and sang for us really impacted my life because they were so talented it brought me to tears that the government isn't realizing the state in which they live and trying to help them. But they actually don't need our help they live that way and live happy on top of it. We need to make the children here in the U.S. realize how much these kids go through and make them stop complaining about what they don't have when others in the world don't even have a home. Bye all, O'tillia aka O.T. aka Otown lol
