It all started with Emma's graduation. That's what brought her parents, Stephen and Janet, all the way from Nairobi, Kenya to San Diego, California, where I live. That's how I met them, heard their stories about the challenges faced by everyday people in their ancestral village, opened my big mouth and ended up building a school in Africa. But I'm getting a little ahead of myself already, and this is such a wonderful story I don't want to leave anything out. So back to Emma ...
