Kenya: Huruma

From Kenya 2012
Today we headed out once again through the crushing Nairobi traffic, to visit our fourth Nairobi slum.

We needed, as usual, to pick up a guide to help us negotiate the narrow rabbit-warren streets lined with endless small ramshackle businesses. We saw people cutting up old tires to salvage the rubber, people making charcoal, and others selling used shoes. The children's shoes, the lack of them or the poor condition of them, is something that has been very striking throughout this distribution.

When we arrived, the children could barely contain their excitement and were eager to get their bedkits but at the same time were anxious about what was going to happen. When their turn finally arrived it was a pleasure to see the smiling faces of children often barely big enough to hold the bedkit happily take it home.

Our only regret was that we didn't have more to give to those who waited on the sidelines.
