Unlock the skies for them ❤️

Like so many rural kids in Kenya, I wanted to be pilot. I ran after the plane as it flew above me. I had so many questions about flights and I held though questions close to my heart. When I finally flew at 18, I was over the moon. It wasn't what I expected, it was a long eight hour flight. I had to let go of my childhood dream and find a new dream. It took a lot of soul-searching but I like my new dream better. My dream, is for kids from Mogotio to have everything. I want rewrite my childhood. Their childhood is so much better already and a flight at ten years old is just the cherry on top. Last years' trip was transformational and we want to keep it going. $300 funds one child. Which includes A trip to the big city A flight to mombasa A day of go-karting and beach A train back If you are like me, then you know that these kids deserve the world 🤩
