I Am Just a Jerk

Despite how I am portrayed on this site I am a really descent person.  I feel as some may believe me to not be understanding, caring, or empathetic.  If I didn't care about people I would not share my next thoughts on some of the things going on in the world


Searching the headlines on Google this morning I came across some articles on the growing crisis in Kenya.  Kenya with its magical landscape and known coffee origins its in  absolute turmoil.  I came across an incredible site that tells so much about the country and what is going on.  There is also a  site built for bloggers and webby's who live in Kenya to upload images, identify were conflict is taking place, and a general site to get the word out about what is really going on in Kenya from those who see it everyday.  I will add a few links to my page and to my website incase you want more information about what is going on there.  I would suggest to hold off on donations to any government agency claiming to deal with Kenya due to corruption surrounded by the Kenya government.  I am not saying that to sound cruel, but the truth is much of the countries turmoil has to do with corruption in their current government.  I would suggest to read and maybe contact Amnesty International for ways to help spread information and possible ways to contribute.   Keep blogging Kenya, we are reading and spreading the word.
Peace.
