Role Model: Wilfred Lai and Terresia Wairimu. “And I also love Obama.” Wilfred is my pastor and I love him because he doesn’t compromise. He stands by his decisions even if he’s alone. Terresia had been a mother to the motherless. She’s educated so many children through his children’s home and she’s a giant of faith. Obama- eloquence, standing against all odds, and he cares for his family.

If money were no object, what would you do all day? I would still do mentoring.

How long have you been with Hatua? 1.5 years

How did you come to work here? I saw the job advertised. It’s close to my home and my son loved coming to the library.

Favorite Program/event: University Mentoring Program. It’s bridging the gap between the work place and the school. It’s also creating a big daddy to those who don’t have. It also acts an eye opener to university students.

How would your friends describe you? Outgoing, loving, and having a big heart.
