Joy is choosing to respond to external circumstances with inner contentment and satisfaction. I came to northern Kenya to see the effects of a devastating drought, but saw a lot more smiles than I ever expected. I hope to remember the lessons learned here.

First, the good news: @childfund drilled a well to pump clean water for the first time to this drought-affected community in Kenya. Now, the bad news: a lot of people in the county still have to walk miles to fill their jerrycans full of filthy water. You can connect more communities with what they need to be safe and healthy by supporting @childfund 's work.

Lack of access to technology is among the major factors keeping students behind and shutting developing nations out of global competition. Today I visited a solar-powered tech lab at a @childfund supported school where students have the opportunity to learn with tablets and computers. Wrought from an aluminum shipping container, much of the equipment was donated by @samsung while @childfund continues to provide for staffing and broadband fees.

Part 2 of 2 on my series on Responsive Parenting: In much of the developing world, kids don't get the love, care, attention and stimulation they need from their parents in their crucial early years of life. Mom and dad are far too busy with the tasks and chores of farming, cooking, fetching water or earning a livelihood, all of which take exponentially more time and energy here. Cultural norms are also a factor. Add a crisis into the mix and children could be nearly on their own.
.
Siaya County, Kenya, was devastated during the AIDS crisis of the early 2000's, and still is among the top five counties affected by the disease. As a result of the staggering death toll, many orphaned children grew up with distant relatives or community members. Parental norms and cultural cohesion were shattered. @ChildFund 's Nurturing Care program is working with parents and caregivers to encourage responsiveness in their care, foster their early development and be intentional in their love and affection towards the children they raise.
.
This week I'm making a short documentary video on @ChildFund 's Nurturing Care program, which is funded by the Conrad Hilton Foundation.
