    Photos from Kenya

    There are [5] photos from Kenya

    REALITY - The people of Samburu were among the friendliest people we met while in Kenya, but the sad reality is that they still need to sell items to get by. You wish you could help everyone as you walk past them and their short huts. The hardest part about saying goodbye to the tribe was having to say 'no thanks' and 'sorry' to so many of them as we head back to the van. Views[326] SCHOOL TIME - The children sit in their 'classroom' made from trees, sticks and leaves. Led by their teachers, they sing to us in Swahili and then also show us how they are learning English too by reciting the alphabet for us. Views[506] NATURAL BEAUTY - I was in amazed at how stunning this Mother and her baby are. They live in a place where clean water is not readily available and wear no make up, yet their skin is almost flawless. The happiness in the Mother's eyes and the innocence of her baby's truly made me reflect on my own materialistic items. Views[464] A MAN'S WORLD - After being greeted by the tribe, the women depart. The men are about to have a meeting to discuss the future of the tribe. Women are not allowed to participate. Views[406] CAUGHT - Arriving to meet the Samburu tribe in the northern part of Kenya, the tribesmen hid their mobile phones in their 'shukkas' (skirt-like clothing). They appear embarrassed, but it's clear from the mobile phone tower in the background that even technology has made its way to the outback of Kenya. Views[536]
