Wow, time passes so very quickly. It's so hard to believe that I have been home 6 weeks. It feels like I just got back and the lessons I learned still seem so new. One of the lessons I learned is that there are tiny moments that can change your view on your universe.
There are so many things we take for granted. For instance I can grab a bottled water anytime I want. Water is a big deal in Kenya because it's hard to find and for the folks who live in the bush it's even more difficult. You know of the struggle for water in Ngaamba and how important the water project is to their community. It will mean life or death, it will impact the famine. But Ngaamba has 410bridge who's come a long side them to help with the water situation.
But what about the Masai shepherds who spend their day trying to find water food for their cattle? On our way from Amboseli back to Nairobi on our last day we stopped on the side of the road to have lunch. We were out in the middle of nowhere and miles to go before we would see civilization. While "picnicing" we came across some Masai moving their herd. This snippet of time has forever changed my view of Dasani as I will always see this shepherd trying to figure out how to open this bottled water...something I have always taken for granted.
What simple things are you taking for granted these days?
