Exactly what I didn’t want to happen happened yesterday. Terrorist attacked a hotel in Nairobi. Unfortunately its where I am headed today. It’s not that I am scared to go. There are safety concerns any time you travel, but I am most concerned because of two things. One, I don’t want to scare my daughter. I have only one and we are her family. She worries more than normal when my wife and I travel together. Two, my wife has long blonde hair with blue eyes and screams foreigner from a mile away. She is always hassled in areas of the world where she stands out. I think thats why she like the Netherlands so much. They would speak Dutch when they came up to her. As for Nairobi, we aren’t going to change plans much except we are going to stay at the Childrens hospital a little more than I wanted instead of venturing around the city, and then head out after two 2 days to Iten which is in the mountain area. The smaller village is a long way away from the issues of Nairobi. Wish me luck.
I’ll be writing tomorrow’s list and then its off and on with Josh and Travis writing more than normal. 24 hours of actual travel time between the 3 planes and bus and cars should have me pretty tired. I’ve learned a new respect for the people flying into NamesCon from China and Australia. Pretty rough flight to turn around and go home after 4 days.
And finally, one last thank you for all the domain friends that helped out our Mission HERE . I doubled my fundraising goal and personally get to make sure the money goes straight to the source. So far we have set up a scholarship to pay for the education of three young men and women that have been chosen for their running skills but will also now have an education to fall back on. We hope to set up matching educational scholarships for young men and women in the US that also have need. The hopes is to have these children connect and write to each other and share their experiences growing up. We pay for their schooling and they share their experience. Our board has to vote on the matching scholarships but that is my hope. I also am bringing something that sounds like a small deal but is almost impossible to find in the villages. Water line repair stuff. I brought tons of hose clamps and barb connectors. I see everyone heating the pipes and trying to melt them together to fix the lines. Things that we can buy easily is a Godsend to them. So I am bringing a bag of it. I am maxed out on what I can carry but I took notes last time and now I’m filling the list. And its because of you all that I can do it. But I am only a part of the team. The doctors are the real heroes. I am just a tag along that hopes to help a little.
To those that chose not to help. Hopefully you are giving your time or your money to those in need. There are many places as good or better than me when it comes to doing good work. Your hard work and intelligence has gotten you to great places. I found the only thing better than relishing in my success is to give another person an opportunity they never would have had and seeing them run with it. In my case in Iten, they are literally running with it. Have a great day. Here are today’s names. Click through to see the current price and to fund this daily list

“I doubled my fundraising goal” Fantastic Shane! Godspeed!
Stay safe out there!
Be safe.
Nothing more satisfying than getting deep into a charity. Used to wish I had more money for “stuff”…now I wish I had all the money in the world to give away.
Half my life revolves around projects in Ukraine now. It’s why I wake up, not the other stuff.
Let us know when your on a plane home and safe…
Safe travels and enjoy!
Have a great trip Shane. You guys will be fine. Two things to remember: People tend to focus on the one bad thing out of the millions of good things there. Nairobi has over 3 million people and one bad thing happens? You could even go so far as to say it is safer there than most US cities. And two is that security is always heightened after something like that, so you could even say that it is safer than ever right now. Bon Voyage!
Thanks for doing what you’re doing. Safe travels and here’s to the future lives you’ll bring positive change to!
