Hello,
Another update from yesterday. We went to the super poor areas about 2 hours from Kisumu. I thought we have seen poverty before, but this was worse. This was pure sadness.
We started at a nursing school. They were 3 classes with ca 50 kids in one class, and in 2 of the classes they didnt have chairs nor desks, so the kids had to sit on the floor and write their letters in the sand. They used sticks and soda corks for math and counting. Most of the kids go to school without breakfast and lunch and only get dinner if they are lucky. Many of them have worms that live in their headbuttom, and this is very contaniois. They also have jiggers (Google that). It was sad and a lot to take in. You just want to take them all home and give them a better life. But to see their faces when we brought school supplies and toys was magic. They loved it. And they got as much as a few children in Norway get for Christmas, but they were 150 had to share that. Also the fact that they got some food from us, and know that might be the only thing they eat that day. We visited the village around the school and they live in mud cottages, with no electricity. It is impossible to imagine such simplicity way of living before you actually see it. And when you see it it's hard to understand it's someone's reality.
