Have you all watched Cinema Therapy on YouTube? My friends created it. It combines Cinema and Therapy as Jonathan and Alan analyze movies. Very cool!

On every expedition I can feel myself begin to transition emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually back to Kenya. It's how I've learned to manage trips. I do a lot of visualization around what the trip represents, the impact we want to make, and I literally do a mental walk through the entire experience for weeks leading up to it. Every expedition contributes to a much bigger picture. Is that picture clear in my brain? Yup. It exists there, constantly reminding me why I personally chose to do this. If I could leave a legacy, it would be to encourage everyone to find their Kenya. To find the experience that they want to have that transforms them into who they are meant to be. When I ask, "Do you want to go to Kenya?" that's what I'm really asking. 😊 The experiences I'm creating now in Kenya, center around helping those traveling as much as helping in our communities. We need Kenya, the love and connection there, more than Kenya needs us. ❤ If I've learned anything over the past 6 years, it's that. Love and connection to the people, the land, God, and who I am in this big wide wonderful world 🌍 I'm excited for the amazing people coming with me this time. They are all examples to me of people who are contributing their hearts and gifts to the world. It will be a gift to me, experiencing Kenya through their eyes. My next trip is November, and then March for my 50th birthday. The tree is my view when I wake up in Africa. 🙏

We are going to be holding weekly sew-a-thons for HopeSaCs (fabric thermal cookers), garden towers, and underwear to go to families all over the world. Do you need to know how to sew? Nope. We have patterns to cut out as well, and anyone can help. Watch for details and bring friends! This is an incredible opportunity for teens to learn about some of the struggles that families experience around the world.

My book about my first 3 years working in Kenya releases tomorrow. 😊

We have two incredible opportunities to come to Kenya with us this fall. October is led by Marissa Waldrop, our Programs Director who has managed the Garden Tower Project over the past two years. November is with Jason Hewlett and Allen Roberds and will be hosted by The Promise Institute. Both will include incredible experiences! If you would like more information, please comment or message me. I've sent out about 20 information packets to people who want to join in!

Im doing a thing. 😊 We are also starting expeditions to Kenya again if you are interested.

Two expeditions to Kenya in October and November coming up with 100 Humanitarians International! Contact me for info.

Our next expedition is in August! Each group that goes helps fundraise to move our projects forward and keep our movement to help families going. We are raising funds for: 100 reusable feminine hygiene kits to donate to girls at a school we work with each year. 10 families to start a chicken enterprise. They will be able to sell eggs to create an income. Funds to sponsor one of our high school students at a rescue center with their final year of school. Plus, 1000 liter water tanks for 5 families to capture rainwater, and additional beehives to help fund ongoing needs in Kenya. We will report to you on our progress in our Facebook group 100 Humanitarians International (www.100humanitarians.org) so you can see where your donations go! Every dollar makes a difference!

Today in Kenya: Our teams can build 2-4 garden tower systems each day in Kenya in each community. That means that 10 to 20 families start on the path to growing their own vegetables in each community in a week. Imagine if we had 100 communities in the world helping 10 families each week. That would be 1000 families each week. Or 52,000 families each year. Because that's my goal. Just to start. 😊
