FINALLY KIBERA! Yesterday we went to the worlds second largest slum,which is Kibera. We pass by it everyday on the way to town and I always yearn to go there. We got hooked up with a church that does sports programs like soccer and basketball with the kids. The team and I have been to a couple of different slums and all of them have been different in attitude and style. Kibera is by far the happiest. The feel is different and people seemed generally happy. I think the people are happy because of community. If they move away they would lost it. One thing I have learned in that America has lost community and the Kibera people will sacrifice comfort to obtain it. The Kenyan government has even provided apartments right beside the slum, but a lot of people refused to leave there community. I’m taking community back to The States. Kibera was seriously awesome. I left with a sense of joy and a stomach full of fish bought for 100 shillings instead of 50 because we are white. I’m pretty sure we will be going back, pretty pumped about that.
P.S love you mops and pops
See you guys in 3 weeks
