Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the attack on Garissa University. On April 2, 2015, Al Shabaab militants unleashed terror on young Kenyans pursuing knowledge to build better lives for themselves, leading to the deaths of 148 people, and another 79 others injured.

As a parent, I cannot fathom the enduring pain caused by this tragedy on the victims families.
