• 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.
