Perhaps others are aware but I was not when I inquired about the movie First Grader in my last entry that Kimani Maruge had passed away at the age of 90.

I have met so many fantastic people and been treated like family, literally, in Kenya.  It is my loss that I never met Kimani Maruge.   My deepest regrets to his family, friends, 'class mates' and teachers.

Jambo,

Has anyone gone to see the movie The First Grader, the true story of the Kimani Maruge, 84 years old, who entered grade one for the first time?

Also, I will not be able to return to Kenya this summer.  This saddens me very much.  Hopefully next year.
