The Trenches
In the depths of my memory, I recall the day when ruthless Kuramojang raiders attacked our simple home,a Maasai manyatta(a type of settlement or homestead)throwing the peaceful village of Lenges into turmoil. At that time, I, a young girl with a curious mind, was about to start formal education, a journey not yet fully explored. My excitement of joining nursery school was fueled by the ability to count and converse with my mother and siblings. Little did I know, in those days gone by, the strange requirement for admission was a gesture – one’s right hand must touch the left ear over the head, a peculiar test to determine readiness for the nursery school world.

Christmas with the Family
I am 49 years old, I live alone. My pets keep me company in a house my parents bought for us to live in God Bless them. They bought me this house after I got my divorce. I remember how Christmas was at home and through out the years living there. I had no worries, my parents took care of everything for me and my brother and sister.

Harvesting Gratitude
As autumn paints the landscape with hues of amber and gold, families across the United States prepare for a time-honored tradition that transcends centuries – Thanksgiving. This annual celebration, marked by a feast of gratitude and familial warmth, has roots that delve deep into the annals of history, revealing captivating tales of resilience, unity, and the enduring spirit of humanity. At the heart of the Thanksgiving narrative lies the story of the Pilgrims, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom who embarked on the Mayflower in 1620. Landing in the harsh wilderness of present-day Massachusetts, they faced a brutal winter that claimed many lives. In the spring of 1621, the survivors forged an alliance with the Wampanoag, an indigenous people who taught them vital agricultural skills, including the cultivation of maize (corn). This newfound knowledge proved pivotal, leading to a bountiful harvest that set the stage for the first Thanksgiving feast.
