Kenya is a country of contrasts.
Wealth and poverty, health and sickness, immense joy and heart wrenching sadness.

If you have the time to talk to those around you it could fill a hundred books, all of them bestsellers.
I spoke with four very interesting people today.
The first was Joseph. He has been working with Aids orphans and set up a program that schools 80 of them through primary, secondary and university education. He does this with no money for himself and only donations to run the education. The second was Father Michael, the head of AJAN and a Canadian Jesuit, he has many years of experience and no end of contacts. He has taken me under his wing and entertains me with interesting perspectives on the Aids fight.
The third was Antonio the labratory diagnostician - a very talented man that requires next to no equipment to diagnose HIV, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and many of the prolific diarroheal illnesses. Seeing him at work would make our scientists shudder, but he gets the job done.

I have discovered that if you have the time most will let you behind the scenes of their lives.
Nairobi is a transparent city. No hiding behind fast cars, tinted windows, layers of make-up and perfume. All of life is there for you to see - life and all its boldness. It is a refreshing change, well for the first few days anyway.
Tomorrow I have been invited to meet with some of the leaders of Aids missionaries here in Africa. I feel that I am a little out of my depth.
I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for everyones thoughts,
Godbless, Ian
