• There is no place like home, but Betty found a second home with two people who were willing to share their lives and work with her.

    Sr. Freda, a courageous woman who developed a free hospital near Kitale because she couldn't bear seeing people crawl on their hands and knees to some distant clinic and Emmanuel, a Maasai man who had to sell his two bottom teeth for a cow to put him through high school. He returned to his village and built a school for orphaned and special needs children in the mountainous region of Kilgoris. This is their story and the story of the children they are helping.

Story: THE SIRUA AULO ACADEMY

I didn’t tuck my shirt,
I didn’t mess in the kitchen.
I didn’t mash teacher’s chalk
the one he always holds tenderly.

I didn’t annoy the director
by smearing muddy fingerprints
on prestine walls,
or turn the school water tank into
Thompson Falls.

There is an endless list of evil
things I didn’t do,
like sneaking out of school in full
school attire.

For sure-
Even as I write this with
A pure and innocent heart
I didn’t do my homeowrk
So I am doomed right from the start.
