Stigma and Discrimination by Khadija O Rama
HIV Positive Children by Khadija O Rama
These are two of my favorite art pieces by Wind of Hope founder Khadija O Rama. She painted them in the mid-nineties. I’m amazed they’re still around.

A collage of my photos in the Pepo La Tumaini ECD
I got all warm and fuzzy when I saw this. I gave a handful of prints to Albina, the former Early Childhood Development teacher, last year. Anyone else would have just taken them home and put them in an album. When I mentioned it to her she simply said, “The kids love so much to see themselves. They’re always pointing and laughing.”

So there is a big dirt field where the kids play football here at Jangwani (slang for Wind of Hope in the Arid). It’s surrounded by ball deflating thorns and gives anyone with half a lung an asthma attack.
Last Tuesday, we organized a game with the “good ball.” The boys all dawned their bright orange NOKIA jerseys and hopped to it.

Dennis here eventually got irritated with Mohamed slacking his football duties and yelled, “Stop with the camera, Mohamed! You’re looking like a tourist!”

Mwenda, the hardest working boy in Kenya, sleeping with the kerosene burning.
Woke up in the middle of the night to go the outhouse/hellpot and caught a student of mine burning the midnight oil.
This is a test from the blackberry. Hope it looks unnutty.
