“Kibera Class”. This picture is taken in a “classroom” in Kibera, the second largest urban slum in Africa, while working for “Sarakasi Trust”. This non-profit performing arts development organization believes in the use of Culture for Development and the positive role that culture can play to eradicate poverty. Since 2001 the Trust has run a training and outreach program that continues to touch lives of thousands of children growing up in the slums of Nairobi. Very touching and confronting. The sun did shine through a small hole in the metal roof,revealing the dust and “spreading” some of it's magic. Location: Nairobi, Kibera. Kenya.
