Gift from Kenya

The gift from Kenya is truly generous and heartfelt. There may be some key misunderstandings between the people of Kenya and America, but I feel this can easily be overcome. The cow's representation must be thought about in terms of what the Kenyan people meant by it. Americans cannot just look at the cow and think, "ok." They cannot simply be ignorant. They must look further into the "why" behind receiving this cow. It was a gift of comfort and reassurance. I feel this was very graceful and compassionate despite different beliefs about cows. 

The fact that Kenya is raising the American cows to this day even shows that they are behind the American people and wish them well. Americans ought to realize this.
