Hey,
First up, you may notice that the site is being upgraded at the moment. Most of the website is working at optimum level so don’t be scared; feel free to browse around and we will be done upgrading the site sooner rather than later 🙂 .

Hey,
I have created a new category within the blog which you can find on the sidebar to the right. It is called “How WE can help the people of Kenya”.
