to understand compassion and hope in a new light’

Nairobi, Experience East Africa ‘Gone Fishing’

‘It was a privilege to be welcomed by so many different people in Nairobi.’

‘Welcome to my palace!’ These were the words echoed by Sammy as he invited me in to his humble dwelling in the Kibera Slum, Nairobi. It is difficult to describe in words his dwelling, in Australia we would probably describe it as a chicken coup, but for Sammy and many others in the slums it is their home.
