<div>I grew up a very bored youth. My village did not have electricity, running water, or paved roads. So, I didn’t have the entertainment of television, music (batteries were very expensive), or a community center or library to just go hang out. So, books became my friend that I exchanged with friends and read and read. Then, the whole world opened up to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I was 15, I traveled to the UK and USA. Two years later, I was chosen by my high school to be an exchange student to Oregon, USA. The pathways had opened, and I moved to Portland, Oregon, in my 20s and opened up my culinary business that I have been running for 17 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I returned to my village (now a town) 30 years later, it was still the same, with no entertainment venue for youth. So, 10 years ago, I started collaborating with different organizations to distribute donated books and school supplies to Kenyan schools so they could open their own libraries. <strong>And the community center idea of the Gachie Development Center was born. </strong>
