Wanjiku Kironyo
 
"I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Wanjiku Kironyo on her recent trip to the United States.  This is one extraordinary woman who is serving God in an extraordinary way. 
 
After observing a couple of my classes, Wanjiku expressed an interest in sharing my program with her children in Africa.  I am honored to offer my program
to her to use as she sees fit."
