Ann Njeri Didn't Turn Out To Be A Nun, But She's Still True To Her Calling
Susan notes: I met the beautiful and amazing Ann Njeri at the Initiatives of Change Tools for Change conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February 2009.
Although still a relatively young (she’s in her mid-twenties), Ann Njeri bowled me over with her confidence, energy, positive outlook and wit. Over a period of three days, I had the pleasure of sharing 12 hours with her and a group of about ten other women from around the world in a Peace Circle led by Jean Brown and Ann Njeri herself. It was a moving and transformational experience.
Now, Ann Njeri shares her travel and cultural experiences as her life journey continues...
Dear friends (July 8, 2009)
“When I grow up I want to be a nun and a nurse” was one of my childhood dreams. Now that I am grown up, I have become none of that! And there begins my story.
One of the reasons I wanted to be a nun and a nurse was to serve people. I was brought up in a catholic church and nuns were a common feature and therefore my dream should surprise no one. I always admired the nun’s services in the church as well as their heartfelt community services.
One of the outstanding services was their clinics and mobile dispensaries- where I got many of my treatments whenever I was sick since they were economic friendly! The unknown fact is that besides their service to people, I also truly admired their outfits! Ha!
