My Eventful Continental Lifetime Journey

Beschreibung

"Been There, Done That: My Eventful Continental Lifetime Journey": is a potent discussion of family values and determination. "Been There, Done That: My Eventful Continental Lifetime Journey" is the creation of author Rachi Ngaine, MSPA, CPA, CGMA, a former native of Kenya who survived the Mau Mau uprising in the early 1950s. Now a citizen of the United States, Ngaine served in the federal government's civil service held before retiring at age 75 in January 2018."In this lifetime story titled Been There, Done That, Rachi Ngaine recounts and narrates personal experience of survival, coping with challenges of growing up in a traditional learning environment from early childhood in his native Kenyan village. It amplifies the appetite and personal struggles for education/ knowledge through public schools, college/university, choosing a career path, and taking grueling handwritten academic/professional exams toward jobs that led to self-actualization/self-esteem and a formal retirement at age seventy-five. The book is an affirmation of a typical family's basic value system, endurance, and human dignity."

Autor

Rachi Ngaine was born and raised in an African Kenyan Village. His parents were unschooled but were God loving. He is the second-born in a pile of six siblings but the first to start school on his own initiative. He grew up typically in a traditional rural village and close family ties-- under real challenging economic and social circumstances. Rachi is blessed with unique character, goals, spirit, and roots. He started real life by performing kiddie-like tasks around the homestead and gradually assumed larger roles of shepherding family goats/sheep and volunteer as a bare-foot house-to-house and short distance messenger for neighbors in his village. Rachi met Christ while a teenager, was born again (transformed) and continues the Christian walk-of-faith. At age eleven (11), he voluntary participated and survived the "bloody" Mau Mau civil war. The outlawed movement ultimately won Kenya its long-awaited political independence from the British Empire in December 1963 after 43 years of colonialism. Rachi has travelled widely around the world and is active in community affairs.
