'KWAHERI'

Hey Robbin and All JUMPers

I wish to share to you my embarassement when i woke up on Saturday morning-29th/07,very late and I rushed to the bathroom,wanting to get ready for our normal meetings in Kwacha Afrika site...gosh!!I realised you were gone....I will miss you guys so much.
Andrew-Hope you will be back to show me the 'pepeta' thing,with your tiny ball,i just couldnt get it but at least my hand helped alot in your games in Kwacha.
The 'shaka' bit,well,now i can do the shaka well.

I arrived Nairobi Sunday morning and had chest pains and my mobile battery was low,i received Robbin message late..it was a 'kwaheri' sms.....when i called....Kauai JUMPers are at the airport already.

The times will remain memorable for me for I truly love the Coast-Mombasa and the people in it and you coped so well,it was amazing how making friends,in our day to day fixed programme was so smooth,the morning briefs,outreaches,recordings and last evening together,these are days that are etched in my memory book-as special days that I have to thank God for.

Hopefully Kwacha came up with few wayforward but very functional- to start with-Finish the editing of the Kwacha promo,great help we got there from Robbin and the 'computer wizard' we named him...haa,'Asante'.
Hopefully fundraisings will start here too for few activities and the JUMPers will be in charge of documentation in Kwacha,talking about newspaper articles with the help of few skills that we learnt and a magazine/annual newsletter for Kwacha.

The passion of media came out strongly from few Kwacha individuals and JUMP was really a door opened for some of us,amazing dedication,coolaboration and participation we had there,for talents were taped,and now its so easy to delegate duties for media work in practicals,with few help from head people,from the birds eye point of view-Kwacha Afrika will make it in terms of delivery,from the little but powerful knowledge they have now.

Let me not say much for the low moments that we had-sicknesses,programme dragging,unfinished programme,coping up with few individuals(the teens were amazing!!!)which i always dont shy away in giving feedbacks and i receive them positively for they help me to grow in grace.
Teens,pliz,let me hope you are sharing the great moments and not the bad moments you had,if you experienced any,for any bad moments,aim to JUMP higher.!!

My point-let me declare the trip to Kenya for Kauai teens a success-very educative,passionate and powerful.

A member ask me today-"Jacky,can we also fundraise to emulate what the Kauai JUMPers deed but starting with visiting parts of Kenya for a start?
I took this as a very functional comment and driven by this trip to Kenya.

I cant wait to see photos shared to all.

Am still left with great Jumpy memories.......

From Jacky
