Shosh, But Make It Legendary: Honoring Mrs. Kamau of Ruai Primary
📚 We laughed, gifted, and honoured our Class 1–3 teacher, Mrs. Kamau

Mwalimu Mungai: The Striped Suits, the Keys & the Legacy
He wore striped suits, jingled his keys down the corridor, and taught us with heart.
On July 9, 2022 we honored Mr. Mungai. Our former Senior Teacher turned Program Director at SOS Children’s Villages.
A legacy of impact, humor, and fatherly love. LOVE ISN’T A SCAM 😄

The Kimani’s: Our Village, Their Legacy
In 1992, Baba and Mama Jane moved from Eastleigh to our wild, quiet village and helped raise a generation.
40+ years of marriage, five children, and countless memories later, we visited on 2021 to say THANK YOU.
Their story is full of laughter, faith, and quiet wisdom: https://wp.me/p6HwbF-1Pj

Nine Families, Countless Blessings: A Journey Back to Those Who Raised Us
Three years. Nine families. A million memories.
We went back in 2021. Not just to visit, but to honour the parents and teachers who raised us.
We brought gifts, but left with something far more valuable: wisdom, laughter, tears, and stories that shaped us.
They survived COVID, retirement, loss, and change. Yet their faith, strength, and love remain intact. 🧓🏽❤️
Be wise. You won’t be young forever. Visit while they’re still here.
