Think Kindness is a non-profit organization that has spent some time in the last year visiting Tumaini Children’s Home — where I lived for a year, and where I co-founded Hope Runs, a non-profit organization. I am so happy to see the promo video for their upcoming documentary, The Roots of Happiness, and happy to see that Sammy takes such a central role!
I couldn’t be happier to be the guardian to Sammy Ikua Gachagua, an amazing teenager who now studies at Maine Central Institute, and who grew up at Tumaini Children’s Home, an AIDS orphanage in Nyeri, Kenya. This summer Sammy returned for a visit to Tumaini and was able to do some great work filming with Think Kindness. His inspiring message sure shows he’s a public speaker in training;)
Claire, that video is fantastic! All those happy smiling faces make my heart warm & fuzzy & inspired to do more. Thanks for the link to ThinkKindess.org too – what a wonderful concept! 🙂
you are the guardian to the kid???
you are lucky
most of the time i’m lucky. except when he needs race-walking shoes in thirty minutes, has bronchitis, and his global citizenship essay was due yesterday! (just kidding (sort of) i love you sammy…thanks for stalking me, as ever)
It’s terrific!!!
