I notice that you use two languages, which is ok by all means and adds a lot of local character to the narrative...maybe footnotes would be of help to none swahili readers? just a suggestion.

Dear Sandra,

How can anyone put a price on a human life? How can parents live with their conscience after selling their children into slavery? What do we need to do, as a society, to confront this kind of attrocity and bring an end to it? If we are to call ourselves "civilized", then we need to find answers to these kinds of questions and take action that will bring about change.

Love & Light always and in all ways,
Joseph*
