This photo was taken in a school for children who lives in the slums of Thika, 1.5 hour drive from Nairobi. I was here with an NGO (macheo.org) that is a foundation operating children home for 56 children, income generating projects and an education program, which support thousands of children in the nearby slums. I went there as a volunteer photographer because i like to do something for other people.
