Today we visited a project sponsored by YWCA-Kisumu. The project is lead by a group named BAMATO. After the post election violence some people were left without a place to live. BAMATO helped these to start their own buissness, or gave them the opurtunety to earn some money by working for the group. The main program of the group is to recycle plastic. They pay 15 Kennian shillings per kg with used plastic waste. They sort the different types of plastic, and then they make new things out of it. They make everything from jewlries to curtains and baisens. I think this is such a good idea. In Kisumu the wate- collecting system is not well developed. This group helps people to earn money at the same time as they keep the environment clean. It’s fantastic! Don’t waste the waste.
To all of you who is wondering where to spend your holiday. You are mutch welcome to come and visit me in Kisumu.
Today I found my new pet. It’s a beautiful dog named Klara. The problem is that she is garding a house, so I don’t know how to take her home with me? :)
I’m begging, begging you.
There is something special about me. I’m very attractive. They all love me. Why can’t you leave me alone? Stop bugging me! I feel that they are thinking: «you are too sweet honey, we want to suck your blood!». I can’t sleep, thay are never leaving me alone. Every night I wake up whith a scream. «Joy! there is a big mosquito in my bed!». «No, wait, it was just a dream». In the morning I wake up and my body is itching all over. They bite me everywere. But now I’ve had enough! I wan’t acsept this behaviour any more. The war has began. Today I killed one of the mosquitos and I don’t feel to bad about it.
I don’t smoke, I never have and I never will. But I can’t deny that it’s sometimes funny to watch other smoke water pipe. In Nairobi we had a small water pipe party. We drank non alcoholic wine, and the other guys smoked water pipe without nicotine. That is why I find this picture so funny. :)
