briefly
and he went straight to rural Siaya to launch a centre that his sister Auma built
for me, what was more amazing was the little children who got to meet him first hand, a man whose roots can undoubtedly be traced to the same rural village they call home and here he was, right in front of them, a testament that indeed anything is possible
i can only imagine their amazement
their curiosity
am sure, for many, they will never forget that day
and when the reporter interviewed some of them later, in their school compound
Senator Barack Obama Primary School, no less!
they narrated with childish innocence and wonder, at how he gave them tips on playing basketball etc
loved it!
there are many people, whom am sure, can narrate the details of such encounters in their lives, whether its a school mentorship function, etc....when a statement by one individual made a profound impact in their lives, lessons which they carry to this day!
may this be such a moment for these children
may they all soar higher than the skies
encounters
of a magical kind
are ....
magical!
