Hero of the World

This is one of those feel good days.  A certain organization in the USA is trying to find "the heroes of the world."  Dusty Breeding submitted Made in the Streets own Jackton Onyango Omondi as our "hero," along with part of his story.  And HE WON!  MITS gets a cash award for which we are grateful.  And all of us are thrilled when someone appreciates the work that we do.  Congratulations, Jackton! He is one of my heroes too - the kind of friend and co-worker who is ready to do whatever it is that needs doing!

Jackton has bargained for the car we drive...picked us up when an older car broke down on the highway...came to help us when an axle gave way on the old Peugeot on 2nd Avenue in Eastleigh...kept the MITS bus running...led our sports teams...learned sewing when we needed to start our first skills training in 2002...along with Milly runs our Into the World project (helping our graduates learn to do evangelistic Bible studies in their apartments)...has taken in 2 children neglected by a former street girl who was with us...will clean out the toilet if asked...takes visitors where they need to go...HERO material...
