Meet Simona
Simona Atzori, an Italian lady motivational speaker, painter and dancer, is a close friend of Saint Martin CSA and has visited the organization on two occasions. Simona was born without her fore limbs but she did not allow this to deter her from pursuing her goals in life. To the contrary, she learnt how to use how legs which she refers to as her golden legs to perform what ordinarily others do with their hands.

feet-on-the-groundThe Theme
In the first event, her activities were inspired by the theme "Flying without Wings." During her second visit, the theme Feet on the ground was found to be most appropriate. She was to take this time as an immersion experience into the activities of Saint Martin CSA and according to her, give herself more time to feel and touch the love in the communities around Nyandarua and Laikipia Counties.

Encounter with the Youth
Simona had an opportunity to interact and motivate the youth in Saint Martin's area of operation. One of these events was organized in Nyandarua Institute of Science and Technology and the students of secondary schools and colleges in that vicinity were involved. Institutions caring for children with disability were also present without forgetting parents of children with disabilities under the hospice of Faith and light Communities. In another event hosted in Saint Martin hall, Simona met a large gathering of students from colleges and secondary schools around Nyahururu town. She challenged the young people to focus on their abilities rather than the challenges they faced in life.

DEAR... Letters to Cherish and Challenge Education

This book is a collection of experiences drawn from various people who love education to the level of challenging it. dearThe authors chose to present the experiences in form of letters. The letters aim at advocating for change in our education system and practices in Kenya.

"In this book, we are taking a side, the side of the weak, the side of students who mistakenly think that failing an exam means failing in life, the side of parents who oppose educating the mind at the expense of the heart, the side of teachers who want students to be more important than their scores and the side of anyone who cherishes education enough to challenge it."
