A Memoir, by John NeufeldFrom Russia to Canada...with commentary and annotations by Gerald Neufeld

At the heart of a nation's identity lies the moment it breaks free from its chains. For Kenya, this pivotal moment came in 1963, setting a course that would be both celebrated and challenged. Amidst this backdrop, we follow Salimo, a man whose life is intertwined with Kenya's political and professional evolution. His interactions with international allies and the Kenyan people he serves deeply influence his path. 'Hakuna Matata' isn't just a phrase; it embodies the resilience of Kenya's youth and the spirit of a nation that refuses to be subdued. Yet, the shadow of the ruling elite looms large, marked by violence, political games, and rampant corruption. From the era of Jomo Kenyatta to the tumultuous reign of President Moi, the narrative captures the highs and lows of a country in flux. But through it all, the Kenyan spirit remains unbroken. The people, especially the youth, remain hopeful, forging ahead, shaping and being shaped by their nation's journey. Dive into a tale of resilience, politics, and the indomitable spirit of a nation and its people.
