Kibera
Today, we visited Kibera - the largest slum in all of Africa. The entire city of Nairobi has about 3 million people (according to our Kenyan friend), and 800,000 to one million of these folks live in the Kibera slum. We went to Kibera to visit a project our friends from "Watoto Wa Dunia" support. Below are some of the pictures of our time there.
A wall surrounds Kibera. On one side: a million people compressed into tiny squares of land, without water and without electricity. The other: The former president's mansion and the golf course you see below. Never have I seen such a great dichotomy.
We visited the small school Watoto Wa Dunia supports. The children recited beautiful poetry and performed some traditional dances. Below are a few abstract shots.

I was looking forward to your update on this particular excursion. This is the type of disparity that characterized my entire experience in South Africa. It's simply chilling, isn't it? Beautiful photography and beautiful kids, though. Thanks for the update!
