An African adventure

[flash]

it was hot, the smart people stayed in the shade




this blind man had walked a good distance to meet us too


It was our turn then to entertain.............





I think Irish dancing might be the next bit thing in Chepturu


thats a blurred me in the background dancing(without being totally shit faced)


this kid never dreamed such moves were possible


this one just liked the camera


and the dancing continued











we then all sat down to have a chat, we thanked eachother for the entertainment then the old lady above(the one who walked 35k/m) told us about the problems they faced each day. It was at this point that i became a bit overwhelmed by everything. these people were placing a lot of hope in us and I starting feeling a bit concerned about letting them down. their biggest problem was clean water, david told us about 80% of illness in the area was due to drinking dirty water, since our trip we have got fresh clean water piped to their village, one thing of a very big list. its nice to see positive things happening.

I think we shook hands with every single person there before leaving, of course they had a song to keep us safe on our way.



with just time to show the kids their pictures


this is one of my favourite photo's of my trip.


felt a little sad leaving Chepturu

Great pics, and thread. Must be quite an emotional trip, seeing these people in absolute poverty. Still smiling though.
