ABOUT CHARDAVIN (in his own words)
Hello.
I am the first born in our family of three children, am 22 years old. My mother being our bread winner since I was young till now is just an ordinary house wife. I am a drop out of form 3 since my mom can't provide fully for my high school fees, I got help from those same people am talking to you about upto that form that I dropped out off because they can't pay it longer due to the increase in their living standards. As I told you earlier I told you that I worked with a theatre crew that was called Extravaganza that is where they provided good clothes for performance. As well known in this place there is high insecurity in this region where there are tribal conflicts.
About my family I think this is through God to deliver their burden through you my dear friend Martin. I was with them telling them not to give up because God will help them one day....you are the only who have been with me even through this moment of hard time...your words are more than anything else according to me ...so everything you will do for me I will appreciate together with the ones am living with.
ABOUT WHAT I NEED IN LIFE
What I pray to God to have in life is at least a good place (house) to live in with my family and also to complete my education that it was cut off by poverty I mean lack of finance (but in life). Now I think what is best for the community is majorly basic needs for their day to day living in this hard time.
MY COMMUNITY
We are Turkana living in Samburu county. Turkana is one of the tribe in Kenya that has about other 47 tribes. They are pastrolists. Due to search for water and food in dry lands of arid northern Kenya some of them migrate about every season. Being one of them I lived with them since i was born, we live a life that I can say it's hand to mouth, we get anything and it is eaten that same day. Mostly this people just depend on relief food from different agencies because anything (livestock) they have have been swept away by calamities in this dry arid lands. Know their is no more aids everybody is concentrating in the global crisis (corona virus) hence forgetting the suffering and stuffing community.
