My Kenyan friend, Judith, has spent most of her life in Nairobi. Yet, she'd never been to Kibera. She joined me this last time I visited and this was her comment afterwards:
"Kibera gave me a shock. Let’s just say I’m not going back there anytime soon."
Another Kenyan friend of mine, Kim, lives nearby and passes through it now and then on his way to church. These are his thoughts:
"I'm increasingly grateful for God’s grace towards Kenya. Kibera and a lot of other slums within Nairobi are a nightmarish place to live, to raise a family in, to come back home to at night, to nurture hope. In reality, a big chunk of us Kenyans grapple with even the very basic needs.".
"But hope is the one thing that there isn't precious little of in Kenya."
