Cho Cho

Cho Cho is an amazing lady that really inspired me. She is 85 years old and lives in a village on the outskirts of Thika, Kenya. She lives alone in a mud hut which has no electricity or running water. The sad part of this story is that two years ago, Cho Cho's husband passed away - he was an amazing 103 years old when he died. Cho Cho and her husband married when she was barely 20 years old and within the first few years that they were married her husband unfortunately lost his sight in an accident. Cho Cho spent the next 60 years of her life taking care of her blind husband's every need. I was told by neighbours in the village that her love and care for her husband never waivered. Her life was spent caring for the one she loved. The strength, courage and willpower that this lady possesses is amazing. She was an inspiration to meet and I will never forget her.
