Hey Bloggers,

Today is the last day! Wow. It will most definitely be hard to leave behind my volunteer work. I wish that I could do this forever (with some of the perks of Canadian life truthfully). As much as I will cherish this time, and continuously look back on it, I am equally as thrilled about going home to have a nice clean shower and reflect on the sensory overload I've experienced over the past three weeks.

Kenyans, without a doubt, are truly beautiful and inspiring people. Their spirits are so strong and their will to survive is unfathomable. They struggle with so much poverty, corruption, violence and unsanitary conditions, yet find a way to smile, extend a warm Jambo sana, and make you feel most welcome in their complex country. I wonder if, given similar circumstances, us Canadians could say the same?

Will I come back to Kenya again? For sure. One hundred percent. I will be back to this country to volunteer and do some discovering. Or even perhaps I will venture to another African country next year. There are many touristy things in Kenya I was unable to do (travel to the coast, Mombasa, and go on a safari), so even to fully discover more of its beauty and sereneness, I will be back.

Thank you, to Kenya, to my family, to my friends and supporters. Everyone has made this dream of mine a reality. I am so privileged to have helped and attempted to make, at most, a small imprint on the lives and health of Kenyan people.

Kwaheri,

Jake

  1. Thank you for your good work. I was born in Lower Kabete and been living in US for the last 12yrs. When I got homesick and googled the images of home today,your blog came up. The picture of your clinic reminds me of the 'catholic chapel' I attended for years which used to be just next to that little building. i wonder if its still there......... Asante sana.

    Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, cancers that arise in glandular cells of the prostate’s epithelial tissue. Prostate cancers usually progress slowly and produce no symptoms in the initial stages. Eventually, the tumor may enlarge like mine too, the prostate gland, pressing on the urethra and causing painful or frequent urination and blood in the urine.
