Arrived Nairobi Safe !

 
Justin and I arrived safely in Nairobi after a pretty intense 26 hour trip. We travel well together. I am anxious to get started. It looks like a good place to bring about 50 people back in June to work in the slums.

Mathare is a truly desperate place to live. One of the largest slums in the world, hundreds of thousands of people live in an area just a few square kilometres in size. Social problems like ill health, child abuse and alcoholism are evident wherever you look. Infrastructure is poor and amenities are lacking. Every day people die needlessly because of disease, tribal clashes, drugs and domestic violence.

Yet life goes on and the people of Mathare make the most of what they have. It is a terrible misconception that places like Mathare lack innovative and creative people simply because of the poverty that the residents are forced to endure.

I will try and update everyone every day if I can..  God Bless Larrie
