Our first day of actual work was Monday. We visited a slum in Nairobi. It was truly unlike anything I've ever seen, and unfortunately, I could get very few pictures that show how impoverished this area truly is. Clearly, we are very fortunate to live in America from a financial perspective. On the other hand, I envy the Kenyan people for their reliance on God. Their collective faith is a necessary part of their daily lives, while a lot of times, I treat my faith as an issue of convenience.
