Kenya,the land of peace and full of hustles among its native countrymen and women,Young and elderly, everyone is busy to achieve the best out of his/her sweat just to make the ends meet.
Some parts of the country have large numbers of well-off families and others have to struggle a lot in order to make something enter into their stomach and allow some into their pockets as their petty savings.
Likoni,is a village in Kitui,kenya.I grew there under strong worrying circumstances which some times despite being young,i could think of hanging myself.Thank God i persevered all that and He helped me cope up with the( life lesson) situations.
My father had a large (helpless) piece of land,which we used to graze our protruding boned cattle,which in the real sense had no benefits to our livelihood.
I joined primary school 8 years old,knowing in mind that education will be the only solution in my life and family in large.I proceeded with my education hardly till i finished by primary level at the age of 18yrs, was aged enough to have family(marry).
Having passed my exams well,i had to join a nearby secondary school but the poverty at that time became severe to an extent that i couldn’t join earlier enough as indicated on the admission later.I stayed at home for three months stressed.My mind was losing hopes of proceeding with education.My health started deteriorating but when i looked at my mother struggling to see me continue with education,i took heart and went to a nearby town and started looking for a job.
God is always great,i got a butcher job whereby i started preparing ‘mutura’ and some other external meat.My first salary was KSH 1200(9.8$) per month i.e Ksh 40(0.35$) per day. Being so little i had to work there while looking for alternatives.
While still working as a butcher,a customer came and ordered 1kg of meat and asked me to fry it nicely.I did the job as directed then i served my client and went back to sit on my uncomfortable sit thinking deeply on how to make it in life.Customer, while eating looked at me and asked me,”Young boy”, ‘Yes’, i replied,” You seem to be thinking too much,could there be any problem” ,’I have many things burning into my mind,so my trouble in my life as i grow,i finished my primary school but i failed to proceed with my secondary education due to lack of fees’ i opened up. He looked down while still quiet and said,”Next week i will be coming here and will respond to your cries,be still and my response could be possible”
