Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

9-year-old Kevin from New York had come to Kenya to join his stepfather as guest of a Maasai tribe, where he and the chiefโs son Dionni became close companions. Kevin wrote in his diary:
โThe Maasai taught me lots of things. They are very nice people and we had no problems understanding each other. They taught me to shoot the heaviest bow I have ever seen and I taught Dionni how to play baseball and write his name. He doesnโt speak any English and I learned 11 words in Swahili.โ
I recently came across this video and I cannot explain the joy that came alongside the nostalgia. If there is something I would go back to high school to do apart from studying more literature and fasihi, is to sing and record those moments.
