This January 2019 team consists of 13 of us. We started out a bunch of individuals, largely strangers and after the week together in Kenya felt more intimate than most good friends. It was a powerful experience.
Today is the day that we celebrate the late and great, Martin Luther King Jr. We celebrate him because he was a major leader in the Civil Rights movement, which focused on freedom. Well, today January 21, 2019 , I experienced a different kind of freedom. This was day 1 of serving at Achungo. I was free to laugh, talk , play and sing with children of all ages at the Achungo Children’s Center. I was free to go to any class I wanted and sit where I wanted. I was free to just be me. I was free to give today even if not fully understood. Most importantly, I was free to experience gods love 1st hand in Kenya all day long.
