    Interesting photography exhibition including photos taken by children around the world. It was facilitated by the Chinese cultural minister- China has an ever-growing presence in Kenya, with its finger in many pies within the world of business.: by beth_king, Views[357]

    Band night at the Dass Ethiopian Restaurant in Westlands. I was very kindly invited to come along by Michaela, Stan and David, who I gone with on Thursday to visit Mathare. Stan, David and their friends were part of a popular Nairobian heavy metal band, and explained to me that because the music scene in Kenya was so small, all the bands made an effort to support each other. The bands playing on this night were friends of theirs.: by beth_king, Views[1024]

    David and Stan who, along with myself and Michaela, were told to sit on stage as honoured guests for the proceedings, when we had been expecting just to sit in the audience and watch! It was an interesting experience. :): by beth_king, Views[464]
         		 Fred giving a final speech about the importance of children's education.: by beth_king, Views[455]
         		 The politician awarding text books to the top children in their class. Unfortunately, he then thought that it would be a good idea to award books to the children who came last in their class, causing embarrassment for those kids and frustration for others who had scored in the middle of their class and received nothing.: by beth_king, Views[408]
         		 The politician (all show and no substance) and in the foreground, the textbooks that he had brought to give to the children.: by beth_king, Views[546]
