  • James and Charles in Nairobi

    Today is a Saturday, Charles is sitted besides me here in a town cyber cafe, surfing. We have come from Daystar to town to meet IHF team team, among them is the President and founder Carol Sasaki. They have been off duty down there in Pokot helping the community in general.
    Last week, we have been really busy writing exams and reading for this coming week papers.

  • Me and my Pokot Tribe!

    Born in a rich nomadic tribe in Northern Kenya. I went to school early in 1990 while I was 6 years old. My parents were the real champions for the transformation from letting me not be a goat herder but a school goer. Should I say THANK YOU to them? YES of course, thank ou big to them, for they are the ones who opened me up to the world. I have came to learn many things in my life in school. I have known English and Swahili languages through being a student.
    I have kept the pace of a changing world of technology because of what I do as my undergraduate course in Daystar University, which is computer science.
    Pokot is undoubdetly the richest culture. I see them having a richer culture than the reknowned Maasai in East Africa. They are the most hospitable people you may think of. They are humble and are proud of their culture. I know almost 90% of Pokot cultural practices and I have attended some sacred ones like the initiation and seclusion where inintiates are kept in the bush for two months. Sacred teachings are done and divine transformation is witnessed.
    There are many more cultural practices done there. It is shocking that even now, the practics have never been recorded and could be lost down the historical line and forgotten cheaply just like that.
