Salem Lorot, Son of the Hills, Part II


Kids, this week we are doing an update interview with young Salem Lorot of Kenya, whose work can be found at Echoes of the Hills. We interviewed him some time back, as a student, [you can find that interview here], and heard his remarkable story. Salem grew up as a nomad in a Pokot village in Kenya, was  sponsored through school, and we met him in Nairobi ,  studying law at the university. Salem is an amazing poet who writes about social justice issues, and whose main goal in life is to make the world a better place.  I thought it would be interesting to check in on him again, and see what has happened in his life since we last spoke with him. Fasten your seat belts, kids.  We are flying back for another visit to one of my favorite places in the world: Mother Africa.
