Travis in Kibera



Travis connected with this little guy - Humphrey. He and I (and two of my Kenyan friends) spent 5 hours exploring Kibera. It was my fourth visit but I always find it to be very fascinating. Kibera is the second largest slum in all of Africa. 900,000 people are crammed into the hilly slum, living in rather disgusting squalor. Their homes are crude, to put it mildly. The fumes and sights that one experiences are almost beyond belief. It's hard to imagine living there on a daily basis. And yet, somehow, there's joy on the people's faces.
