Amani for Africa NGO

I was born and grew up in Caserta, Italy, and today Home is the people I love and when I travel is because I go visit someone. The first time I set foot in Kenya I was 19: since then it's one of the places of my life that I go to more regularly. I like to write impulsively, and just to tell true stories. To me, Amani means looking for a meaning.

Favourite quote: “It is on the horizon. When I take two steps, it moves two steps forward. I take ten steps and it is ten steps further away. No matter how far I walk, I will never reach it. What is utopia for? It is for this, for walking." (Eduardo Hughes Galeano)
