having a sickle cell clinic in taita taveta is no easy feat and having all of you come together for the entire country is not a force to joke with. (applause). yeah. having passed through this struggle with us now feel us. these people here show me that we are not alone. i am not alone. we are not walking alone. we are creating this path however long it will take. however, hard the struggle, the lives lost, maybe some of us will not be here to see the future, but we must walk. okay? thank you so much. (applause). ♪ for me, this new clinic is just the beginning of my mission to improve the lives of all sickle cell patients and families, not just in kenya, but all over africa. we are just getting started, this is not a marathon. (laughs). it is it is not one who, who is, who is the winner, who runs the farthest, or who runs the fastest will win. this is a relay race. and me, i know that i realize that this problem i will not solve its entirety in my lifetime and the person coming after me will be, yoknow, will have it easier and be able to take it even further. it's a beautiful morning
