100 Things I am Grateful For

Fall is such a wonderful time of the year for many reasons... sweater weather, football, pumpkin spice lattes, drinking warm tea by the fire, perfect time for running, the changing colours of the leaves, and most of all thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is by far my favourite holiday of the year. It is a tradition for my family to go up t or cottage and then go to our friends cottage for a huge thanksgiving dinner. It is just overall a great weekend filled with amazing food, even better company and laughter. I look forward to it every year! I love just spending quality time with the people I love most... nothing gets better then that!

Fadhili Trust

This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations. They help people through village savings and loan associations ( type of micro-finance). They do this to help people create business and increase income. Our first day with them we had an introduction of the organization and then we visited a small private school. The visit was super fun because they stopped all the classes to meet us. Everyone was so welcoming and we were given the honour to talk with the students in their classes which was really cool because they had so many good questions about Canada.  After the school visit we went and had 2 home visits of 2 of the  beneficiaries of  Fadhili. The stories of the people we have met have been very emotional. The one lady we met lives by herself because Fadhili is supporting her kids to go to boarding school which takes a burden off her ...

Off To The Airport

I cannot believe the trip is over... It went by so fast, yesterday literally feels like we just arrived in Kenya. But I guess time flies when you are having fun. Today is a very emotional day because I do not want to go home and have to say good by to Kenya :( Words cannot describe how much this trip has met to me it is by far the best experience of my life so far. I am so grateful to God to have been able to go on this trip and for my parents allowing me to go, it has been such an amazing time.  I am going home having learned so much and coming back with a new lens to look at life through.  I am going to miss all the people I met and all the memories I made, my mental scrapbook is very full of memories and my heart is filled with many new special relationships.  This trip has been my breath of fresh air after a very tough year. I struggled with a lot this year and everyday felt challenging so to come to Kenya and to feel so much positive energy from the culture and peopl...

Blink Of An Eye

Wow... I cannot believe it has been almost 2 weeks back in Canada. Time truly does fly... The adjustment the last little while has been an interesting one. I have personally found it just a little too easy to slip back into the sometimes self absorbed culture that sometimes occurs in our community. But I have also been finding the reverse culture shock tough of being back in the normal routine and wanting so desperately to go back to Kenya. That trip was the best experience of my life and all the memories and people we met will forever hold a place in my heart. I wish I could go back to Kenya and live there but then bring all my loved ones with me. Something I have been struggling with during the adjustment is coming to terms with the fact that I am here in Canada with no worries in the world going to starbucks, hanging with friends downtown, laying on the beach etc and there are people in Kenya who can barely make a dollar a day... Just those 2 thoughts do not sit well with me that ma...
