A couple of days in Nairobi

After a long flight we finally arrived to Kenya. The first days here we're going to be living in Buru Buru, wich is 20 minutes outside Nairobi city center.

This is what our neighbourhood lookes like in Buru Buru. In the 1960s this was actually the first "rich place" in Nairobi. The buildings are therefor quite old. Today the standards has changed, but we experience it as a very nice and safe neighbourhood.

There are alot of children running in the street where we live. Many of them say "Mzungo" when we come (wich means white person)

Before we left Norway we were so lucky to get in touch with Maggie though Couch Surfing, even though Sandra should get that credit. She lives in Baru Baru and runs alot of different orphanages and art projects for children and youths in Nairobi (more information will come). She has also for several years open up her home for travelers and volunteeres who wants to help with some of the projects. And when we got here the house was already filled with people from Germany, France, Australia and Marocco who had stayed there for all from a couple of days until a couple of months. But even though she opened up for two more and found a madrass for us in the livingroom!

Maggie and Sandra

Jump for joy!

Don't let the picture fool you. The door is actually this small! It's the door to Maggies frontyard.
