I grew up in a place known as Kabazi, Subukia Constituency and Nakuru County in Kenya. As a child of a family farming household, I had to participate in farming activities alongside my education. The family depended on its member’s labour to be able to provide adequate and nutritious food to the family. Every evening during dinner, our parents gave us duties or roles that we should accomplish after school the next day. Even at weekends we would get some duties to undertake. Some of the duties included weeding, fodder cutting, pruning, grazing sheep, cleaning the sheep pen, firewood collection, threshing maize, sorting and cleaning beans, among others. Our neighbours saw us as hard-working children and congratulated our parents for bringing us up in this way, since not all families were able to involve their children in farming. Even though we were so involved in farming activities, I performed well in school and that kept me motivated to pursue my education.
