Stephen Kibiwott Kitur
1928 – 2010
Guest at Living Room: April – September, 2010
Stephen, who we lovingly referred to as “Agui,” meaning grandfather in Kiswahili, arrived to Kimbilio—dirty and forgotten. He had prostate cancer which had spread throughout his body and practically no family.
For several months, we had the privilege to learn from this Agui as we cared for him: his wounds were cleaned; his pain was treated; and in so many ways, his brokenness was healed. On the morning he died, the Living Room team was standing beside Agui, holding his hand and singing songs in his mother tongue, Kalenjin. As he left the brokenness of this world, his life was celebrated, and his death was grieved. He had become a part of the Living Room.
Stephen is worth running for
