Mtwapa

Mtwapa....ask anyone who has visited the town before and they will smile...
I would describe Mtwapa as the Sodom and Gormorah of the mordern times...for those who do not know it,Mtwapa is a town in Kilifi, not far from Mombasa.

The town is famous for its pubs and most importantly call girls and the beach boys, its the only town in Kenya i know that you can walk half naked and noone will even question...and its the only town in Kenya that makes me feel over-dressed.
No other town in Kenya has so many biracial kids that speak fluent Swahili and broken English. Welcome to Mtwapa the town that never sleeps.

What irritates me most are the beach boys who do nothing all day they sit hoping they will get a white old lady to provide for them. As for the ladies, as long as you are a white male then count yourself lucky. Then there is a group of White men called "Kenya Kimbo" funny name.....they are called KK for they have been living in Kenya for so long that they have learned how to make a good bargain using the Swahili Language....

Mtwapa is the only town in Kenya that i would never want to raise a kid, am afraid that the only role models around are the beach boys and the call girls. As i walk through the streets of Mtwapa i feel as if am far from Kenya, because noone cares about Hiv AIDS here....its all about partying and girls and boys hoping they will nail a white man or woman with a fat cheque...

what happens in Mtwapa stays in Mtwapa.....

What the Lord has done.....

Its been long since i wrote....its lunch break and i can jot a few lines....

Thanks to Bonny i have something to reflect on....

My cousin Loise is the strongest lady i know...she has been through so much yet she is still smiling, you can never tell when she is sad. Her dad passed away when we were still young....then tragedy hit her again...her mom passed away in November 2001 a month after Loise had given birth.....it was a sad period for her....but she overcame it. She had to take care of her baby and her little sister....Loise being Loise did an amazing job....

Just when life was going smoothly for her tragedy struck again....the father of her baby was arrested, the dust had not even settled when on July 9th 2004 her sister passed away due to heart failure, she was only 13yrs old...I was with Loise on that day, and i have never felt so helpless in my life. For the first time in my life i questioned God, wny her? so many tears...loosing all the people close to you....but God was with us all....he wiped the tears away.

Seeing Loise smile through it all has been a lesson for me....her strength i cannot describe....she is a miracle, and when i look at her and i see her radiant face, i know God is watching....Loise you are the strongest woman i know...Thank you for being you........

Thanks Bonny for reminding me that God is always with us.....
