"In a futile attempt to soothe the guilt that arrived hand-in-hand with becoming a parent, I recently read an article about how often we rush our children. “We’re running late!” becomes a refrain they hear more than they should. This constant push, this pressure to keep up can quietly grow into anxiety, into the fear of never being good enough, into the belief that the world will always move faster than they can.
I read those words, and they shook me. And yet, every morning, I still find myself blurting out the same reminder to my son: We’re late. It’s a humbling thing to realize how easily we pass on the pace of our lives to the little ones who trust us the most.........(continue )"

We recently had the opportunity to volunteer at the VF school in Kibera, and the experience left a lasting impression on both of us. What stood out most was the energy, curiosity, and resilience of the children. Alongside their eagerness to learn, it was just as striking to see how much joy they brought to each day, laughing, playing, and fully embracing moments of fun with one another and with us. Despite challenging circumstances, their enthusiasm in the classroom and their spirit on the playground spoke volumes about their character and potential.
We were equally struck by the dedication and professionalism of the school’s leadership and staff. Their commitment to creating a structured, supportive, and high quality learning environment was evident in every interaction. We quickly realized that it’s no small feat to build something like this in Kibera, and we felt an immense sense of pride for our good friends who brought this vision to life.
Being part of such a meaningful and impactful educational initiative was a privilege, and it’s clear that the school is making a real difference in the lives of these children.
We are grateful to have played a small part and look forward to supporting VF as it continues to grow and change lives.
