520 Find Me Unafraid tells the uncommon love story between two
uncommon people whose collaboration sparked a successful
movement to transform the lives of vulnerable girls and
the urban poor. With a Foreword by Nicholas Kristof. This
is the story of two young people from completely different
worlds: Kennedy Odede from Kibera, the largest slum in
Africa, and Jessica Posner from Denver, Colorado. Kennedy
foraged for food, lived on the street, and taught himself
to read with old newspapers. When an American volunteer
gave him the work of Mandela, Garvey, and King, teenaged
Kennedy decided he was going to change his life and his
community. He bought a soccer ball and started a youth
empowerment group he called Shining Hope for Communities
(SHOFCO). Then in 2007, Wesleyan undergraduate Jessica
Posner spent a semester abroad in Kenya working with
SHOFCO. Breaking all convention, she decided to live in
Kibera with Kennedy, and they fell in love. Their
connection persisted, and Jessica helped Kennedy to escape
political violence and fulfill his lifelong dream of an
education, at Wesleyan University. The alchemy of their
remarkable union has drawn the support of community
members and celebrities alike - The Clintons, Mia Farrow,
and Nicholas Kristof are among their fans - and their work
has changed the lives of many of Kibera's most vulnerable
population: its girls. Jess and Kennedy founded Kibera's
first tuition-free school for girls, a large, bright blue
building, which stands as a bastion of hope in what once
felt like a hopeless place. But Jessica and Kennedy are
just getting started - they have expanded their model to
connect essential services like health care, clean water,
and economic empowerment programs. They've opened an
identical project in Mathare, Kenya's second largest slum,
and intend to expand their remarkably successful program
for change. Ultimately this is a love story about a fight
against poverty and hopelessness, the transformation made
possible by a true love, and the power of young people to
have a deep impact on the world.
