Things in Kenya are pretty bad. After the newspapers thousands of people would suffer hunger. All the stocks have been used and water is short too. Everybody is waiting for rain. Yesterday it did rain. I don't know about last week as I was in Tanzania where it also had rained but hopefully things will get at least a little better now.
When you're in the city you can't really imagine but I do read the local newspapers on a regular base and there were a lot of problems going on. People fighting over taps, tribes blocking rivers and the others living further down wouldn't get water.
The Government for some reason had to use money from the education budget (why do we always safe on education?!?!?!?) to buy food abroad. That created a lot of problems because schools wouldn't get money and they would ask the parents to pay more. As already mentioned, primary school is supposed to be free, but people still have to pay admission fee, uniform and food. I really wonder how they manage.
People died fighting over water. That is crazy and should make us all think about how we use this so important source.
