Week Two May
The second week of May arrived without fanfare — just the usual Nairobi mix of dust and hurry — but our kitchen knew something was different. Children came in numbers we had not quite planned for, bodies pressing gently at the doorway like a tide.
We could barely squeeze through to the office — a good problem, if you have ever prayed for empty chairs to fill. Volunteers moved sideways, laughed, passed trays overhead like a practiced team.
You learn to count fast — not to be stingy, but to be fair. Second helpings wait until everyone has firsts. A child at the back on tiptoes reminds you that visibility and food sometimes share the same rule: the smallest voices need someone to clear space.
May in Nairobi is neither gentle nor predictable — dust one hour, drizzle the next — but hunger keeps the same schedule. When numbers spike, we note it, thank God for what arrived, and start planning the next shop before the euphoria fades.
We served what was available — nothing fancy, nothing wasted — and watched bowls empty fast. Gratitude does not always look calm; sometimes it looks like a child eating like the week depends on it.
Afterwards, the compound sounded different — slower footsteps, satisfied chatter, someone rinsing trays in a basin that needed refilling. That is the sound of a programme doing what it promised, even when the numbers surprise you.
If you want future busy Saturdays to feel generous instead of tight, help us stock the next month before the crowd surprises us again.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
