A Gift and my sincere thanks…
Since the USA drastically cut its funding to the UN World Food Program, this little village in the arid region of Northern Kenya has suffered. The little they may have received has gone. Now life is difficult for most of the villagers I got to know, surviving on camel milk as their main protein source. Northern Kenya is now facing a Super El Niño, and Ngurunit is even more vulnerable because the town is surrounded by mountains and the villagers live in the valley. There is the great possibility of flash flooding from the surrounding mountains and Shaddy tells me, people are worried.
I feel so anxious…
Thank you to Shaddy Omare and the villagers for sharing your lives with me.
