Karen's Reflections on Meeting Eric Gitonga


It was our great honor to have a chance to share a meal with our first sponsored child, Eric Gitonga, earlier this week. Eric is on break from the university and taking a course in Nairobi before he goes back to school in September. We met him at a restaurant in the YaYa shopping plaza. He was a quiet young man with a great smile. His concern kept coming back to Sharon Moffitt (his sponsor, who he calls "Mom") and her family. It was wonderful to see this young man as he explained his job with the communications company, and amazing to realize that at one point he was being let go from his school due to lack of fees. Awe inspiring.
