DISCOVER THROUGH MY PHOTOGRAPHS LIFE IN REMOTE PARTS OF KENYA 

HELP ME MAKE MEAK EYE MISSION IN KENYA CHANGE AS MANY LIVES AS POSSIBLE.

My 60th birthday is coming up on September 9th , two months from now and I have chosen to challenge myself. On October 1, 2017 I will join the MEAK medical team on an eye mission in Merti, Kenya followed by a 6 days walk in Kenya’s rugged Ndotos mountains. I have committed to help fund Meak’s eye mission where the medical team plans to restore the sight of over 200 patients. To donate find link to donation page at the end of the post.

Life in the bush

MEAK RESTORES SIGHT AND REPAIRS HEARTS. I have been an active supporter of MEAK’s work in Kenya for the last ten years and a witness to their life changing work as it organizes and funds medical and surgical missions often in remote areas of the bush where there is little access to health care. MEAK is caring, gutsy, lean, and very effective. You can find out more on MEAK by going to Meak.org.
I have a special fondness for Kenya. My family owned property there when I was a teenager and I have been going back every year for the last 13 years. Being there has helped me put my troubles in perspective for one and embrace humanity in a deeper and more inclusive way. In other words it repaired my heart and restored my sight !
Blindness has also touched my family in a very deep way. My Bulgarian grandfather became blind at the age of 11 and while he was able to become a famous composer he needed the constant help of his family and loved ones. Restoring eyesight allows the family to be more productive.
