The Constant Drama

I have come to Nairobi to teach in the Mukuru slums with the 'Mukuru Promotion Centre', an NGO that works tirelessly to improve life in the slums. They have set up 4 schools which support over 4000 children. I am teaching in 2 of the schools focussing on the 'slow leaners'. It is a fantastic experience full of ups and downs but never a dull moment.

Here are some photos of the slums where I'll be working.
Every DAY in Africa HIV/AIDS kills 6,600 people.
Every DAY in Africa 8,800 people are infected with the HIV virus.
Every DAY in Africa 1,400 newborn babies are infected during childbirth or by their mothers' milk.
As a result thousands of children are orphaned & left to fend for themselves. Children aren’t just losing their parents to poverty, neglect and HIV...they’re losing their childhood as well.
