About a year ago, Anthony Omari, took a machete to the face while protecting 35 children who were housed at the Faraja Children’s home in Kenya, run by this mother. Incredibly, he survived, & so did the children. The story was shared on a social networking site (Reddit) by a person involved with the Longonot Education Initiative, requesting people to help collect $2,000 to build a wall that would keep the children safe. The people on Reddit helped raise over $80,000. The scar on Anthony’s face has nearly disappeared & the kids are no longer afraid to stay in the home. Here’s the link, if you want to follow the story for yourself.
