On the loose in Nairobi City. Spreading
the UWH vibe high and low all over. Trying to get people help us build more
space for youth!
UNEP - UNHABITAT Offices at the UN Africa
HQ. It's an amazing facility. I feel like I'm in a Steven Soderbergh movie when
I'm there. So many amazing people from around the world work there and I am
very happy that these days people are now talking about the importance of
creating public spaces, especially for youth!
Non stop soldiers from the region of
Makadara, Mbotela.
Kamaliza Environmental Youth Group.
Expanding the local school. Farouk Omondi
showing how its done as usual.
Little Acts of Kindness (LAOK) is doing
amazing things in Mathare by helping people in Sports, Health, Culture,
Education and outreach. A Sunday Power Session at Good Samaritans Children's Home in Mathare.
Getting live with FIREBRAND and #TEAMLAOK. The kids here are so amazing. They
life such difficult lives. Somethings I never could imagine.
These kids need a playground!!
Mathare Youth dominating the urban agriculture techniques
National Youth Service has made Mathare
very lively these days. Everyone you know walks around in green shirts carrying
this and that. They are still building new spaces for the community. These
youth are responsible for removing nearly 4,000 truck loads of waste out of the
community. Currently they are building a clinic, posho mill, toilet and a
police station. Thats only in Mlango Kubwa. There are plenty of projects in the
other villages.
New friends have come to the Mathare
Social Hall to teach Yoga for free on saturdays at 8AM.
Namaste!
Finally found the skatepark in Kenya.
Thanks to my new friend Kevo whose passion for skateboarding brings back the
kid I was. Kevo rolled his ankle badly on sunday while flying off a barrier in
the middle of Moi Ave. (The main busy road in the City Centre). We had to carry
him up to his bus. As he limps onto the bus he exclaims with a giant grin
"THIS IS THE LIFE!"
