I greatly admire you for your work with this very deserving population. I'm so glad you joined our campaign and have been so active. The story you shared touched my heart. It is so easy for us, who live in this incredibly bountiful country, to forget that people are suffering in others places. Thank heaven for people like you who dedicate their lives to aid others. You are appreciated! Have a fantastic weekend. CJ Scarlet

Profile Information

Tell us a little about yourself! Where you're from, what you do, what you care about.

I am the founder and Executive Director of The BOMA Fund. I work with rural African women in one of the most remotte regions of Africa - northern Kenya - to help them start businesses and build a life for themselves and their children.

How did you hear about the Kindness Cure?

Tell us about an act of kindness that transformed your life? (you could have seen, or done, or had done to you)

Drought 2006 - northern Kenya - worst drought in 50 years. In search of nomadic communities to provide support - the famine was devastating. My Muslim Op Dir said to me, in the midst of my tears "Mama Rungu, now you see the world through God's eyes". I'm not religious (how can there be a God that allows children to starve) but it was a profound moment that greatly informed our work.
