Hey Guys a quick update on our efforts to help Baby Brian. So far many of you have written or called in to express your support and to give. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of baby Brian’s family for your response. So far we were able to raise the funds needed to give Grace a proper funeral. We are still far from our goal of $5000 and I encourage you to give. A dollar can go a long way in changing someone’s life. Additionally, I got an interesting email from Tracy McVeigh that I would like to share with you. Tracy is the journalist from the observor that did an excellent story on Brian’s situation that was a catalyst to Operation Saving Baby Brian. Our thanks to her for telling the world about the injustice that occured on that fatefull day.

Dear Joseph,

my name is Tracy McVeigh and I’m the journalist who went to Kenya after seeing the anonymous photograph of the dead woman to find out who she was.

I’ve just stumbled across your website and I’m really delighted to see that you and your organisation are trying to help Jeremiah Mungai and his little boy Brian, I just wanted to say well done. They’re a lovely family and I had been hoping that someone would be inspired to help them.

I made very short little video when I was in Naivasha if you’re interested.

You can find if you search the guardian.co.uk website or on youtube under my name - see Jeremiah in the flesh!

Anyway, best of luck with the project, thanks.

best wishes,

Tracy McVeigh
