Happy New Year, Kenya.
Several milestones in my personal and professional life have made Kenya a cherished place for me. I started my Unicef career in Rumbek, South Sudan, in June 2000 and my rest and recuperation breaks were in Nairobi. In fact, Kenya was the first African country I had ever visited and, frankly, it was love at first sight.
I came back in November 2004 to serve with Unicef Somalia based out of Nairobi, and in 2006 I got married in Kenya. My son, who was 3-years-old in 2014, has had his formative years growing up in Kenya, and considers himself Kenyan.
