Walking in My Sister’s Shoes

with Karambu Ringera

“inspiring action for peace”

At the time of this interview, Karambu is preparing to leave for Kenya where she will spend July working on the Amani Community Home for kids orphaned by AIDS. She is taking a group of eight people to work with her. The construction has started and her hope is to complete the first phase this year.

They will also do a Cultural Tour for Peace with the group of eight. They will camp with a community of Samburu women who have created a women’s village because so many of their husbands, fathers and sons were murdered. IPeaceI is supporting them with school materials and construction of a school for their kids

  • Peace is about being in all situations, even difficult ones, with calm
  • Addressing challenges of war, poverty, disease as opportunities
