More about me

I currently work in Boston and Kenya (talk about a commute!) I am the Executive Director of One Village at a Time, a non-profit working to develop sustainable feeding programs in Western Kenya. You can learn more by going to our website: www.onevillageatatime.org.

I'm a citykid at heart and love living in Downtown Boston. I believe that the social networking scene was made for Boomers. You will learn all you need to know by following my blog called MotherMadrigal Speaks Out on blogspot. This is enough for now.
