With Memorial Day weekend nearing, we take a moment to reflect on the significance of this dedicated time of mourning for the millions of Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Originating as Decoration Day after the Civil War, it was first celebrated on May 30, 1868, with citizens placing spring flowers and flags on the graves of fallen soldiers.

Can kindness create ripples of change? In Tanzania, a small group of 45 families received chickens to help combat hunger during the pandemic. Today, that gesture has grown into a thriving community with over 200 families benefiting, who then invested in coffee and banana tree farms, creating a sustainable future. Will you help empower more communities?

Today we went on rounds at a local hospital in Kenya. We saw patients with meningitis, pneumonia, parasitic infections and lots of babies delivered naturally or via c-section. They do dialysis from 6 am to 1 am and have 8 working machines. Patients with hypertension and diabetes wait to late for treatment. Strokes are a common occurrence. This hospital is top notch, but still has needs. This afternoon we finally had some time to rest.

Today we visited the old Baobao tree in Moshi, Tanzania. We have pictures around that tree since 2013. We crossed the border back into Kenya and will spend tomorrow morning at a local hospital. We had popcorn and played an entertaining game of heads up!! Tonight we had time to reflect on our journey and the mission of Hope Without Borders, which is to help the poorest and most vulnerable people.

The "Elephant in the room" is an expression that applies to an obvious problem that no one wants to discuss. It insinuates that the problem is so obvious that it would be impossible to overlook. So let’s talk about menstruation. You heard me right, you know that miserable monthly reminder that you are now a woman. The cramps, the blood, the time of month when you wonder how many times you can shower in a day. Right? What does menstruation have in common with health, hygiene, sanitation and education? If you live in a developed country you probably don’t know. You can buy fancy affordable tampons and pads. You can go to work and school without worrying about bleeding through your only uniform or dress outfit. You can chose from different colors, shapes, sizes and perfumes and when you’re done, you either throw it in the garbage or flush it down the toilet.

In developing countries, girls can’t go to school during their periods as they can’t afford pads. After 1 year they have missed 50-60 days of school and end up dropping out. Hope Without Borders provides washable sanitary pads and has kept thousands of girls in school.
