Diwali has been a special occasion for me ever since I was a small boy living in Eldoret. We used to buy firecrackers and burst them as a family. My favourite were always the Tom Toms and Pop Pops. As I got older, I stopped bursting crackers for environmental and social reasons and would use the money I would get to bring the light to someone else and this year it wasn’t any different. As a family we tried to reach out in our very small way to bring light to others and I urge you to do the same when celebrating the occasion each year.
