MTAANI HANGOUT LENANA 2022 | STELLAR GIRLS KENYA

Stellar Girls Kenya at the Mtaani Touch A Heart Event - Recap VIDEO: 3rd December 2022


We got an invitation to the Mtaani Hangout, 5th edition organized by HESA INTL this past Saturday. To participate, we took up donation of sanitary towels for the girls and young women present.To that effect, we successfully ran a rigorous 12-Day Sanitary Pads Funds drive campaign from 21st November 2022 to 2nd December 2022. 

With the relentless and moral support from our stellar mentors and supporters, in the 12 days we were able to raise KES. 33,069 which enables us acquire above 385 sanitary pads that we donated to over 200 teenage girls, young women and mothers at Lenana during the Mtaani Hangout event held on 3rd December 2022.

THIS IS A VIDEO  showing a snippet of how the day went.

Stellar Girls Kenya was proud to have this platform to serve and look forward to more of these great platforms to impact, educate, elevate and empower girls (and boys) into their best versions a.k.a their stellar selves!

Our utmost gratitude also goes to the consistent, committed and ever determined stellar mentors who were present to ensure that our participation in the event was seamless, effective and visible:

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going?

MY VALENTINE

My darling husband 💖, You were worth the wait! Remember when we were just friends, the first time I told you that I have a personal blog; a haven I occasionally dump my stories & thoughts?...to which you carefully listened then asked: “Will you one day write about me on your blog?”  I laughed!! I laughed so hard then told you how for you to feature in my writing you’d have to be out-of-this-world special to me ... to which you thoughtfully responded: “Mercy, never say never!” ….. and then went on a mission to overturn my entire life!! You clever, genius hunk of a man! 😉😉 I’m here today to categorically say that a blogpost is the least of what you, my elusive leading man, deserve! The universe kept saying “The right person will show up, find a path into your heart and know how to hold your love with all the delicateness it deserves, choose you just as deeply as they choose themselves and as you choose them, reciprocate your vibe, match your energy and never make you feel lik...
