Trump paused USAID when he came to power and said, “Africans should handle African problems.” I wonder why the US wants Kenya, an African country, to handle their Ebola problem.

Remember Romeo?
The young student whose story touched so many of us last week? I met him again recently and couldn’t help but notice his shoes were really worn out. He quietly confirmed they’d been like that for a while.
So, I told him, “After school, wait for me I’ve got a surprise for you.”
He was a bit late coming out (turns out he's a scout, so he had duties to finish), so I waited and passed the time chatting with his schoolmates bright, respectful kids full of potential. the full video is on my Youtube
Long story short, I took Romeo to Bata and got him a brand-new pair of shoes. The smile on his face… man, it was everything.
Sometimes it’s the small things like a good pair of shoes that restore dignity and confidence in a young person. I'm grateful to be part of his journey, and even more grateful to everyone who has supported these acts of kindness along the way.
Let’s keep lifting each other. One act at a time
