One of the organizations that Bobby has worked a lot with during his time in Kenya is
Bridging the Gap Africa. Their mission is to build foot bridges in remote communities in Kenya. This is not often thought of when it comes to development work but it is an essential need for many communities in Kenya that get cut off from schools, markets, and hospitals several times a year when the rivers flood. There are countless stories of children being swept away by flooding rivers as they try to simply get to school. Think about all the bridges that you will cross on your daily commute to work and imagine having to wade through each river along the way. This is the reality for many living in rural and remote communities throughout Kenya.
