Drought

It was in the year 2009 when drought struck. The ground and soils all dried up becoming as hard as a rock. People in my village faced pangs of hunger as death confronted them eye to eye. Crops dried up and later died, animals lived for a number of days but soon afterwards succumbed to death. Man himself started wasting away taking the long journey to meet his creator.
   Then out of the blues an initiative funded by a local broadcasting cooperation set in to help. The movement  was called the Kenyans for Kenya  initiative. It was based on simple and little donations ment to save our dying villagers. Although the Salotai vilage was reknown for being a self reliant village this time round it needed help that concluded the saying , no man is an island.
   Money was raised in huge amounts with in few days and relief food brought to the village. Within no time death became a thing of the past as villagers began to see a brighter future all thanks to the Kenyans for Kenya  Initiative founded by the Citizen Broadcasting Co-operation.
