Kibera

Today Ryan and I move out of the AIM guesthouse we have been staying in for the last week and will move into our apartment that has been provided for us to live in! I am excited to be on my own now and really get into the work that I came here to do. Work in the hangar begins on Friday!

Yet the most exciting thing I got to during this time of orientation is go to Africa's largest slum, Kibera. It was eye opening to see over a million people living in extreme poverty and literally in trash. You see things like this on TV but it is another thing to go there yourself. I did not have my camera there which I am really disappointed about, but I hope to go back soon. The kids there were excited to see us... saying "how are you?" the only english phrase they knew! :) It was a great experience which I look forward to going back and learning about these people who live in such lower standards then we are used to in the US.
