#147NotJustaNumber

Kenyan,

We know you have watching how the Thursday Carnage ended with about 148 lives lost. We know that you are not sure how you can help. Well, you can do something, however small, to help those affected by the #GarissaAttack.

If you can, visit Chiromo Mortuary and console with the families looking for their children. You can bring with you some snacks, water and anything else for them.

Two, you can support the Garissa attack humanitarian response by contributing money to Safaricom Kenya, Airtel Kenya, Orange Kenya, Mobikash and the KCB Kenya have opened accounts where money can be donated via MPESA, Airtel Money, Mobikash through Paybill Number 858585, via OrangeMoney through business number 222222 and through KCB A/C No: 858585858585.

You can donate blood as well, as it is happening at Kencom in Nairobi.

Those in Nairobi, tomorrow from 5 to 9pm there will be a vigil for the 147 lives lost in the Thursday Attack. See more details here

In your different regions, please see how you can help out in this. Leave a comment or an inbox of how you would like to help.

But most importantly, this time of pain and anguish should not make us cower and see the Somali Community, among us as the enemies. Or that Islam promotes violence. If we do, we are helping the Al Shabaab propagate the idea of this being a religious war.

We are Kenyans. The blood of Kenyans was spilled on Thursday in Garissa, in Mpeketoni, in Westgate, in Mandera and many other terrorist attacks. We have lost too much. If love, however hard it is to find it, is the last thing left in us, let us share it.

Share the Love.

Eunice Kilonzo.
