A Tribute to My Dearest Late Sister, Anny Mutindi Mutiso

Anny, you were more than a young sister to me, you were my best friend; I miss you very much. Writing your name brings a sense of your presence, yet the reality is that you are no longer with us physically. Nevertheless, you remain in my heart. As I officially launch our organization's website, I want to share that you were the first face of KERRS, Inc. before it became an official organization.

You were a dedicated educator, viewing your teaching not merely as a job but as a calling. Your love for all students, regardless of their school locations, is exemplified in the image of you distributing books upon their arrival from the United States to various schools. Your smile reflected the joy you found in this work.

KERRS Inc., now a registered organization, honors you by continuing the mission you started. This page features photographs of the book loading process in the United States and you overseeing their distribution to various schools, reminding us that our acts of kindness can endure beyond our lifetimes.

Anny, thank you for capturing the images and videos in Kenya, providing us with valuable memories. We are forever grateful for your contributions to the community.

May the efforts of the KERRS' leadership team, our volunteers, and our valued donors leave a positive impact, influencing people and the world for the generations to come.

Rest in Peace until we meet again.

Your sister, Beritah Mutiso, KERRS' Founder & President.
