[kca_main] The details Re: Boy travels under a bus from Kisumu to Coast

[Guest guest]

Wams,

I am stuck here in NYC as they have this huge NYC transit strike. I

was pulled over by the cops and told to go home as I am the only

occupant in the car and under the emergency instituted laws by our

mayor bloomberg...4 passengers in the car. Anyway I risked a $500

ticket or drive back home. Will do to help out on this one.

On the same token we need to consolidate our efforts to help dada

Mwende. We really need to get together on what she is doing.

I am just catching up on my email.

Nduguyo,

Chifu
