Covid-19 has brought Tabitha back 'home'

On Jamhuri Day last year, I wrote here about Tabitha, a house help who left after serving my family for close to 10 years. We gave her a farewell befitting her long service. Neighbours joined us during the farewell party.

At the time of her departure, Tabitha had high hopes. She planned to buy a piece of land with the money she had saved over the years. On the land, she would grow crops and sell the produce at the local market.
