So, I am just now leaving a market in Nairobi City to head back to Juja Farm and the woman in the store thought I was Jamaican. I don’t know how but when I told her I was American, she and her coworkers were very interested in me. The lady was shocked to see a … Continue Reading

You could call this a momentous occasion. Last night (August 3, 2018), when we came in from a long day, I was greeted by Edwin (Edu) at the window. He actually said my name for the first time to me (Kennesha). I have never heard him say my name nor was he pushed to do … Continue Reading

28 July 2018 – I Believe

I can only tell you that I had to believe why God wanted me to go all the way to Kenya to teach and that He would provide every step of the way. One of the songs I taught the children was Jonathan Nelson’s I Believe. Now, the method of teaching was solely based on … Continue Reading

So today, I taught Classes 6 & 7 in music. I introduced the concepts of rests (quarter, half, and whole) with their knowledge of the notes. I also reviewed the C Scale, Solfege, and Seven Sur.

13 July 2018: Starting the Indian Culture Dance

I spent most of today working on putting the dance routine together for the Indian dance. Then, I started teaching the kids the transitions. Needless to say, I am tired this evening.

God laid it upon my heart to reserve $45,000 for this next journey. Now, this is in addition to what is needed for the entire mission for June 2018. I really tried to rationalize it – thinking it was supposed to be $4500 instead but I realized that if God is directing, He is providing. … Continue Reading

Being Brave

BRAVE. Just thinking about that word had me wondering about the scope of how it can play my life personally. I just looked up the word BRAVE and it means (as an adjective) ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. I had to ponder on that for a moment. I am about … Continue Reading
