Mzungu, mzungu….sweets?
Here's our "fan club" in Tala, Kenya! Every day on our way home from Nice View Academy we would stop at the kiosk in the backgroud for cabbage, spinach or whatever other produce item we needed at home. That in itself was different for us because we weren't used to...
A heavy heart
