Nairobi and Kibera
Related to country: Kenya


We've been in Nairobi for four days I think? Anyways, its not as scary as we were told it would be. Although we rarely go out during the day since we are in Kibera, the slum we are working it. The JUMPers we are working with are great, the are a lot different then the other group. I think its better this way. I am in the digital story group, our team has already flimed and edited our first digital story. Its going great. I am very happy to be hear and very greatful to God for steering me to the trip.
I have completely run outta clothes. Mom, I have to tell you, I did not pack enough. I never ever thoughtI would ever say that in my entire life.
Narobi and Kibera are fast pace anf theres always a million things going on. The kids are adorable. The street kids are heartbreaking.They sniff glue, so they can forget the are hungry. When we see a group of them we bring them food, instead of money so we know the are getting food and not any other drugs. Its very sad.
I miss my family and friends and its amazing the support i am getting. Thank you sooo much

This is it
This is the experience that you worked toward for a year. What an impact it is making on you and the rest of the group. Tthe world will come to peace through friendship. You are living that. Wow, thank you for sharing it.
Ran out of clothes? I guess you haven't had time to sit at a laundry mat or send them out? I bet it hardly matters though. I love that you included that. What I love about your writing is that it covers external and internal issues, big and little works. It makes for meaningful reading and helps to paint a picture for those of us so far away.
I love you, Car.
