There's not much more to say that I haven't said before. I leave Kenya in five days, five very fast days. I feel incomplete, or at least the work here, and that is hard to walk away from. There has been so much momentum generated over the last few months and it's only natural to want to see these upcoming projects through. I do recognize that KGSA will always be growing, always implementing more programming, and I won't always be there for it. That's the way it should be though. We are really starting to get to a place where the organization is functioning as a complete unit. This was the first year we had volunteers outside of the University of Minnesota program and already they are organizing HIV/AIDS education seminars with the girls, they're setting up self defense classes, and creating a confidence building workshop for the students. These are all things that myself and the other directors would love to do but simply don't have the time for it, so watching our volunteers come in with SUCH PASSION is really exciting! This has been a year of firsts and I feel so grateful to have been able to experience it here on the ground next to Abdul and the girls. Thanks to everyone that supported me during this time, supported the school, or just read my blog and followed the work that is being done here. Much love and very excited to see you all.
