Sunday night we had a special speaker. He was a Maasai cattle herder from Kenya as a youth. When he grew he got the opportunity to be educated in America. He is now a professor in Washington state. He is also an ordained Methodist minister.
He has been eager to promote education for other like him in Kenya, especially people who get lost in the shuffle.
Right now he is helping young women to break out of the cycle of poverty and effectively slavery that comes from having no other options. He came to raise money for a new women's dormitory at a school in Kenya.
He is soon to join the staff of World Vision, heading up similar projects.
We heard a bit about his story.
==================================
Also tonight (Wednesday October 13) they are having a special meeting of people trying to raise consciousness and help find solutions about the problem of child slavery that is on the increase and that uses Houston to a great extent.
