A letter from Kasambara

I was born, raised and schooled at Kasambara. Today I had time to visit your blog and all that was left of me after going through the whole website was emotional tears. I could see even marathon being organized far from home just to see that the people in Kenya - Kasambara are leading a better life. May God bless the pioneers volunteers and everyone else who is troubled to see that Kasambara people are leading a decent life.

RVH has come by with so many other developments i.e. water, electricity and even school projects. These are projects that we the people of Kasambara never even one day thought would ever reach our area. I am a keen observer of the tireless effort by Ruth and all other volunteers who are there to ensure that their vision is fulfilled despite various setback by the local people. I blame all these to lack of education and exposure. We the young generation of Kasambara are fully backing this project. Our young people are now employed by the hospital. Roads to the hospital and beyond are always maintained. My heart is so grateful. My mother, father and siblings are beneficiaries of this hospital. Let no one stop the FIRE BURNING. Congrats Ruth, congrats everyone. MAY THE LORD MIGHTLY BLESS YOU. Hope to meet the management soon.

- Monica
