Chapter Eight

John Njane, his brother Chris and I traveled north of Thika in the area of his family’s compound to continue to interview and do a photo-shoot with some of the Widows.

The plan is that the material be used for publication—either a magazine article or a book. Or both. Profits would be returned to the Widows for educational needs for their Grandkids.

    In the interview we became aware of some more basic needs as well, money for—

  • school fees,
  • medication,
  • a new Choo (Toilet).

It has been an honour to listen to them and hear the stories of their lives.

We sourced Solar Lights in Nairobi as a gift to them for letting us intrude on their lives. We had no idea how life-changing it would be. A HUGE THANKS to the 30 people who responded to my original plea and paid for the lights for the Widows and their Grandchildren!
