Boniface had sent a personal letter to the US president pointing out the struggles we as Kenyans face and how we apply virtues like integrity and courage. Obama was struck by the letter and he replied saying;

“Though we all come from different traditions and communities, I believe each of us has power to make the world we seek. When joined together by a common set of ideals, our diversity makes us stronger. As long as we hold firm to our principles and back our beliefs with courage and resolve, then I am confident hope will overcome fear, and freedom will continue to triumph over tyranny - because that’s what stirs in the human heart. Again, thank you for reaching out. Please know letters like yours mean a great deal to me, and they keep me going every single day.” - Barack Obama
