Kwa Heri Kenya
On September 12th, I joined the group Carolina for Kibera (CFK) to help with humanitarian efforts in Kibera, the second largest slum in Africa (you may know it from the film The Constant Gardener).
I spent 4 months in Kenya, living with a local family, immersing myself in the culture. My days were spent working on issues of peace and violence within the community. I also worked with the Sports Association, a soccer club with over 3,000 local youth participants from differing tribes, connect with the outside world.
This was the start of what I hope to be a long career in international non-profit work and I'm so grateful to everyone who helped me reach my goals to get there. All of the kind words and donations have been invaluable to my ability to travel and contribute to this amazing community and project. This blog follows my journey through Kenya, and is my way of sharing this beautiful experience with you all.
With so much love and gratitude, Asante Sana (Many Thanks in Swahili), Shahrzad
