Pato and Babu’s focus on this tour is “Kibera Youth”- A treat to hear and learn from youth of Kibera that Pato and Jamey have worked and partnered with over the years. Kibera is Kenyas Largest Slum settlement. The tour will share simple daily life and some insight from the youth themselves to learn about the daily grind. Arts, Food, Education, Government relations, Social Justice issues. We encourage you to ask any questions or compare your years growing up with ours. Experience a real life sharing conversation.
This virtual tour will include sharing stories we typically have with our volunteers and travelers. Just as if you were here with us- we will share some chai (kenyan tea) and discuss our world, the lives, culture and everyday grind of life in one of Africa’s largest slum settlements. You will see the poverty but more so you will see the power of community and the happiness and joys of just living.
House of Friends has a long successful history of sharing a complicated world and focus on the “Good” while being aware of the individual and community.
To prepare we only ask that you join us for chai. We will share the simple recipe before hand. In addition we ask that you come with your best open mind to listen. We ask that you engage and feel welcome to ask any questions and shares.
