Mama Rosa

Well Mama Rosa is wonderful. She spent one month with us here at Bosco Boys and we learned that she has been apart of this project from the beginning. In fact around twenty years ago she was sent by the Rotary Club to be the supervisor on this project of the money they donated to build Bosco Boys. Since then she has been back every year, except for last year because her son was getting married, and is truly loved by the community here.

Mama is from San Diego has told us that we're the only other Californians to have spent an extended amount of time here and we're proud to be now affiliated with her. Mama Rosa told us many stories of her time here over the years, how it has grown, the wonderful sights she has seen, and about the strong relationships that have grown due to her travels here.

The beginning of her last visit here was the end of Jack & Kerry's visit, so they were able to meet. When Jack and Kerry left, Mama became a Mama to us by watching out for us, including us on her fun trips with in Nairobi, and sneaking us a SNICKERS bar to have a taste of home :)

Mama assured everyone that she'll be back next year and the people here can't wait for her to come back. We are excited though to visit her in San Diego when we get back and also visit her family winery in Paso Robles.
