10 years after being matched with our first Kenya Education Fund student, my family and I traveled to Kenya to meet Winnie and her family, in person. It was a magical visit that bonded us to Winnie, KEF and Kenya forever. Visiting Winnie's schools, her family’s home and the home for abandoned children where she was working helped us to truly understand KEF's incredible impact on the youth of Kenya...and how much more there is to do to try to make this world a bit more equitable for all. Each time I return to Kenya the magic I originally felt comes right back to me.
