About Me:: Energtetic, passionate, dedicated....

I am Kenyan, undergraduate in Kenyatta University and Blood:Brother Generation project officer. I am a volunteer program trainer with I Choose Life – Africa (www.ichooselife.or.ke), an organization that conducts peer education training and life skills capacity building in institutions of higher learning in Kenya.
I believe in bringing passion and hope for a better life; working towards improving and transforming lives. Inspiration guides me to being with people who face excruciating challenges from HIV/AIDS. I have talent in - Speech writing, public speaking, motivational speaking, oral presentations, and profiling.

I am spiritual, I have passion for improving/transforming the quality of human life, I believe in supporting to inspire people to assert their rights to better and healthier lives. Advancing essential healthcare and sanitation can save souls worldwide.

I believe that access to quality life is a fundamental human right.In light of I Choose Life’s mission, I envisage being that part of concerted efforts towards realizing an AIDS Free Africa. I have first hand experience in the need for providing hope and humanitarian assistance, now more than ever for the internally displaced persons after post election violence in Kenya.

I want to benefit from the intense adventurous and extreme nature of Blood: Water mission/Ride Well Tour intense faith-forming and life-shaping experiences. I appreciate physical challenge; endure scarcity of resources and opportunity; I ultimately envisage identifying with Christ’s sacrifice, compassion, courage and character.

In tandem with B:WM mission, I intend to discover the potency of my strength in sacrifice for the needy, my courage in adversity, my ability to talk and walk hope amidst injustice and disaster. I want to provide recognizable effortful contribution to linking of needs, talents and continents.

I wholeheartedly join this LIFETIME ride!

RIDE WELL FOLKS!

Hey

Am Gregg.

Last year, I had the great opportunity to travel from Kenya through London to Chicago and finally landed in Nashville, with an intention of proceeding to California for the RWT.

We had all sorts of fun, from the Ride:Well band, and Ride:Well show... everything. For me, it was a great opportunity to see the USA by bike, traversing over 10 states meeting all sorts of people.

Within that fun, I learnt a lot. I discovered my real passion and the soul. I admit it was not easy at all… Continue

I've never had a crawfish because in high school, we had to dissect them. People found bugs in their bellies from their last meals. Blech!! For you, aren't they too close to crabs? Don't tell your momma.

Bet you still know how to pronounce 'issues' our way! Nway muendee ata? I understand you survived the first century; from what am reading on the blogs! Boy, how about doing some architectural classes; a farm house with piped water in Kikima would do well for the town. keep strong and God bless thee
