Today we will visit our solidarity project at Nairobi. We will visit the centre located in Soweto and, if possible, also the centre located in Kayole. This NGO, which was founded more than 20 years ago, offers a place to live and free education to children who have been abandoned by their families, or who due to circumstances cannot take care of them for a period of time. It is a large project with several centres throughout the country.
We will do dynamics and games with the children depending on their availability. We will have lunch at the project for one traditional Swahili food. In the afternoon, we will go for a walking tour of the Karura ForestTransfer to the hotel, located in Nairobi. Return to the hotel to rest.Day 4
