DOT Kenya mourns the passing of Anthony Kimani, a DOT Intern who was newly hired to deliver the ReachUp! program.
Anthony Kimani
It is with shock and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of DOT Kenya Intern Anthony Kimani. Anthony was a newly recruited Intern who completed training last week at St. Christophers' in Karen, Nairobi, and had been set to start facilitating the ReachUp! program in January 2012. Anthony passed away after a short illness.
Many who were with Anthony at the training remember him as a very good-hearted person who was always willing to go out of his way to help others. During the training Anthony was put in charge of the computer lab and would always ensure everything was in order and safely kept.
The DOT Kenya team is quite close, and the passing of a friend and coworker brings great sadness. Rita Muthoni, the resident staff during the Intern training in which Anthony participated, remembers Anthony as "outgoing, focused, friendly and always willing to take up any duties assigned to him."
Our hearts go out to Anthony's family during this difficult time.

Kim was a focused young man who tuely had a big heart, and was always ready to give a helping hand to problems. My heartfelt gratitude goes to his family and the entire DOT family.
May his soul rest in peace. All glory be to God.
This is a big loss but God knows better why this happened to Kim. As human we have no option but to accept and carry on. We have lost a leader and a man of the people. I remember waking him up at night to assist with laptops and modems and he could just do it without complain. a servant of the people, good hearted and maintained good relationships with everyone. We will miss u Kim, Rest in peace though, If God would be asked Questions, I would ask why?
Kim, Rest In Peace
This is shocking news. We have lost a real ambassador of change. Very determined, dedicated, human and friendly.
I wish his family, friends and DOT Kenya strength and courage.

I remember the departure day on saturday morning i had given Kimani my phone to charge it in the computer room since in our sleeping rooms there were no sockets.He left the phone there and locked it .When it was time for me to leave i went up and down looking for him only to find him in his room packing.We talked alot ,he was so happy and told me he was ready for ReachUP ! He suprised me later that my phone had been stolen which i beleived ,only later to tell me that it was a joke and he gave me my phone.If life is cut short like that ,i feel so sad ...May the most Holy of Holies Rest His Soul in Enternal Life!

Personally I have lost a friend whom we spent and shared a lot of time together at St. Christopher. Kim we loved you but God loved you most. R.I.P till we meet again. God bless his Family and give them courage during this trying moment.
Its really hard to believe till now. A room mate from the day we started our F2F. Antony taught me how to swim and he was always on my side. We used to Chat till past midnight in our room (B1) with George Muendo, Joseph and others. Anthony I will miss your company forever but all in all may GOD REST HIS SOUL IN ENTERNAL PEACE. SHALOM.

I believe that your soul is kept somewhere safely by the Almighty for we shall one day meet in Heaven.R.I.P dear comrade and may we accept what God has just done and give thanks to Him for he is the only one who knows why all this had to happen.
We have lost a really great man, may his soul rest in peace.

A guy whom i could always run to for help. to me i have lost a graet friend, and above all a brother in Christ. May God rest your soul in Eternal Peace . TILL WE MEET AGAIN. MAY YOUR PATRON SAINT GUIDE YOUR SOUL FOREVER
KIM; It has been unbeliavable and yet not acceptable that you left us. Have completly no words to describe your unique character but all I can say is, I have lost a friend, a workmate and a man with a great heart. wherever you are Kim, my prayers are for you and may you R.I.P. Will miss you and the swimming lessons.
It is really sad to loose such a dear one within the DOT family. I still can't believe that we lost such a devoted person. I have no words to express myself.
I would like to thank Andrew Abongo, the 13 interns who accompanied us to his burial and the entire DOT family, for the support you offered in one way or another. We had a chat with his family members and we gathered that it was a great loose to them, particularly because he was the last born in their family. The family appreciated our presence and us as the DOT family, assured them of our support.
May you rest in eternal peace, Kimani. Your passion to deliver Reach Up! will not go un-noticed.
R.I.P Kim,we'll miss you!
May you find peace with God
R.I.P
sorry for the loss!!
R.I.P Anthony
You will forever be in our hearts,Kimani.We always gave a helping hand espesially in the evenings @ the computer lab
Rest in peace Kim!
May your soul rest in eternal peace. AMEN
may God rest his soul n eternal life
