Words cannot express the joy I have while writing this blog. It just seems like yesterday, when the idea of Spring Break was conceived. The horn of Africa famine was at its peak and media was flooded with many heart wrenching pictures. These pictures prompted me to think how we could engage our young African University students beginning with Kenya in crafting more sustainable solutions towards ending hunger. Thank fully, social media has all the channels to communicate thoughts with friends. This idea started from a face book chart on our Young Thinkers Kenya page as evidenced in this original email send to Simeon Ogonda.
Dear Simeon, Thank you for your contribution in Young Thinkers Forum. We really appreciate. As a result of your comment this morning, an idea quickly flashed into my mind of organizing a week long “Spring Break” kinda of thing where Kenyan University students and other college attending students can volunteer in a week in those areas affected by hunger and kind of carry a project eg digging a dam for the areas affected and helping plant the gardens of those really affected in an effort to contribute to meaningful and sustainable solutions..and showing that young people are interested in offering kind of more permanent solutions rather than donations.. We are in the brain storming phase and we would like to all think together and come up with something.”
