Week 27 - Cold and Productive
Nairobi’s July cold sneaks through door gaps; you smell charcoal and hear coughs in the lane. Parents still left for work where work existed; children played where school fees had not yet pulled them into tuition rooms.
Yesterday had been Saba Saba — marching, tension, businesses choosing safety over sales. Some parents stayed home today; jobs do not always forgive absence. The meal landed heavier because of it: proof that the week had cost something.
We served warm lunch anyway — beans steaming, chapati where we could stretch the budget — and reminded families to layer children before they walk in. A thin sweater is a small shield, but it helps.
To donors and partners: your KSh held the line this week. If you can add cold-season support — thermoses, extra blankets for evening programmes — say so when you write to etco-kenya.org.

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.
