I know this story broke my heart and so many others. If there is a place to send money for this child, I would do it. Let me know.
I just sent a friend of mine to go speak to his relatives and find out what their needs are. This child may have been robbed of a mother but will not be robbed of a future. I will email you Amy once we get some more info. I also plan to talk to some schools and find out about securing a scholarship for him once he is old enough.
please let me know how i can help-it is good to know what the needs of the family are.God has big plans for this special little guy and his mother is watching over him also.Trly God blesses the little children-they all belong to him
Love your website-keep up the good work-i find you unbiased and brutally honest whic is a relief when away from home and are desperate for news from home.i have introduced several people to your webpage here in u.s
I am so glad to learn that this sweet little boy is safe and being looked after by relatives. My heart broke to see what he had to endure. I would be glad to donate as well. Thank you for letting us know that he had been found. His smile is precious.
This is great news! Please revert on the contacts. He is a symbol of hope and unity in this trying times.
Dear Mr. Karoki,
Thanks for all that you have done to get this child helped.
On the other hand mentioning the tribe of the parents does not go down to well, I think there was a better way of puting it as this is realy spreading the bad vernom along tribal lines. As a matter of fact you could have spelled out the full names of the affected instead of saying a KIKUYU, a LUHYA………please
Its time you start putting positive pictures on this internet, the situation in Kenya has changed for the best and peace has returned. As long as this pictures are on the internet there are sending a very WRONG WRONG signal of Kenya.
Peace starts with you.
His smile made my day….Thank you Joseph.
I would like to clarify an issue regarding why I decided to publish Solomon’s Parents’ tribe; This is important in really understanding the issue at hand. His mother killed because she was a luhya. A Husband victimised because of the tribe in which he married and the overwhelming show of support from people of all tribes and cultures. Good will prevail in this issue. I ask everyone to be patient in regarding how we can help Solomon. I am still getting as much information as I can. we will open an account in Kenya and the United States where we can donate money. Those that live in Kenya will have a chance to send food, clothing and other supplies directly. There are some good plans in the working as far as this child’s educational future is concerned. will keep you guys updated. keep bringing some suggestions to the table
[...] child’s future. More information on the initiative, the suggestions so far and updates on how to help this child are on his blog. As soon as an account is set up and other information is relayed, we will be sure to update this [...]
Am glad to hear the good news with the boy, still the other picture raises an unspeakable anger and sadness in me.
I am particularly keen to help Brian’s father with costs of the post-mortem. This is urgent so Joseph could you please let me know ASAP how to send money to Jeremiah? Many thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this. He is truly a symbol of both the madness and the hope of our age. It is such a reiief to know he is well and with family. And that he still has a father, though he was so cruelly robbed of his mother. Please do let us know when all has been set up to assist him.
