My visit “Back to my African home”


It has been 2,5 years since I last smelled the dusty air that comes from a Piki Piki (a motorbike taxi) rushing past you on a dirt road, 2,5 years since I last heard the sweet voices of the Kimilili kids happily shouting “how is you” or felt the yummy juice of the mango picked from a tree run down my chin. I missed it, every single little bit, including the thin toilet paper (can you even call “that” toilet paper???), the “special smell” of the Kenyans (always sitting next to me in the bus!) and the dirty little hands of children pulling my hair in total amazement at its red colour. I’m back in my African home, after 30 hours of travelling I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the progress CBSM has gone through thanks to the great local team and the many friends helping us to get these children to school.


It takes us over 4 hours with Phylis, our local CEO and my “Kenyan Mum”, to show us the progress.
