When is the best time to travel in Kenya? Is Kenya safe to travel?

Kenya belongs to the African continent and is also a hometown of cultural relics. Kenya once had its glory and prosperity, but with the spread of the financial crisis, Kenya is still in a very difficult environment. Let's share the best time and safety factor of traveling in Kenya.

Now on Children's Day, you can imagine how many beloved gifts children in China will receive, all of which make their hands cramp!

What kind of gifts will children receive on Children's Day in Kenya, far from Africa?

My colleagues are not less worried about this problem, because Kenya's Children's Day is a local legal holiday, and the children are not at school, so we should bring gifts to the children in advance. My local colleagues in Kenya have prepared many interesting small gifts for children in remote rural primary schools in Kenya.

The rugged mountain road is so bumpy that we all want to throw up our breakfast!

Sometimes I really hate African time. It was clearly scheduled to leave at 7 o'clock, and I arrived at 8: 30. Today, the place we are going to is called Kajiaduo, which is about 3 hours' drive from Nairobi, Kenya. Maybe everyone didn't sleep well in the morning and slept all the way to Kajiaduo town. We are going to have a rest here. Edward, our leader, wears sunglasses and asks us to go out for tea. Edward

Bald head (this is not the Mediterranean caused by baldness, but a unique hairstyle of Kenyans. Because most Kenyans can't have long hair, they look like bushes, so they are shaved off, but they are also clean and refreshing. )

About 45 years old, Kikuyu was born in a tribe, tall, but potbellied. It is said that he used to be a paratrooper in Kenya Air Force. There were only 300 paratroopers in Kenya at that time.

On the left is Edward.

Said it was tea. After a group of 20 people sit down, it is actually breakfast. Breakfast in Kenya is generally around 10. Except for three people from China, we are all local employees. In my experience, I should eat this kind of breakfast, because where can I find food when I enter the mountainous area? I can't expect lunch. The Kenyan breakfast features Samosa, a triangular bag filled with beef, which is fried and crispy outside and fragrant inside.

After breakfast, the driver told me that it was 30 kilometers away from today's destination. I don't think 30 kilometers is far. I didn't expect it to take nearly 1 hour. That poor road! I guess the owner of the car rental company should know that this is the only way and will definitely not rent a car for us next time. I can feel his heartache. The chassis of the car was scraped off. Because the road is narrow, the roadside is covered with barbed acacia, and the paint on the car body is almost bottoming out.

This is the way. I feel that I have returned to my hometown in rural Quzhou 20 years ago, and the road is also paved with gravel. At that time, there was no highway in our hometown, and only tractors could drive that road. Usually we go in and out, climb several mountains, and it takes more than five hours to walk 40 miles. I think I went to this place today, and it is estimated that many children have never left that small mountain village.

We can't dance, so we are throwing caution to the wind!

We arrived at the first Cagado primary school in the bumps along the way. This area is really dry. Even in the rainy season in Kenya, the wind is still dusty and dancing.

The tribes here belong to the Masai nationality, and their language is slightly different from Swahili. I have been to the Masai tribe before, so I know that the greeting of Masai people is Supa, while the greeting in Swahili is Abally. If you meet a Masai child, when you say "Supa" to him, you should reach out and the child will automatically stick your head on you. This is the etiquette for Marseille children to meet their elders.

The ceremony for Masai people to receive important guests is to let the young warriors and girls in the village sing traditional songs and welcome them with songs and dances. In school, they are replaced by senior boys and girls. The children are wearing orange sweaters with green and white squares inside. I don't know how many of these clothes were left by my brothers and sisters and worn by new students. Anyway, I look at a lot of people's sweaters, which are either off-line here or cracked there. Several can't find a complete sweater.

The children greeted us with songs and dances. Of course, we must show it, so if we can't dance, we will be invited to dance together. OMG, if you're desperate, just give it a twist.

My first fan, oh yeah!

After the welcoming ceremony, it's time for us to bring presents to the children. Looking at the eager eyes of the children, for me, I still don't want to donate money directly to them. What I want more is to open a window for children to understand the outside world through our little efforts. When we gave them a small fan with our company's brand printed on it, the first child in a pink shirt immediately raised the blue plastic fan with TECNO written on it and shouted TECNO, TECNO, and ran away.

This may be the first time in their lives that they have fans.

Come on, say "Hello!"

Real football, wow!

Kenya was once a British colony. Kenyans' love for football seems to have fallen in love since they knew what football was. The hottest thing in Kenya now is gambling, and various gambling apps and websites have enriched the amateur life of fans.

In this remote mountain village, children also like this sport. Although they have a vast loess main stadium, they have never seen a real football.

They used to play a kind of football, which was made of many plastic bags with a little stuffing in them and then tied up constantly.

This tall and thin boy is the football captain of their school. It is our local employee Sarah who gives him football.

Delicious lunch, delicious!

For tribal children, the most important gift in June 1 day is not fans and football, but we give them enough rations for three months. This is an aid operation of international aid organizations.

Help us plan rationally, help us contact through professional NGOs, and really donate aid materials to places in need. Every student here has a lunch every day, so this meal is very important for their growth. Everyone eats 150g corn beans and 45g red beans every day, plus a little vegetable oil and salt. This is their lunch for the next three months.

These two kinds of beans are cooked together. It is estimated that many children in China are eating them now, and it is estimated that they can't swallow them. And for them, this is the best food!

One drink per person, limited supply.

The children had a good time. Perhaps this is the most delicious lunch they have eaten recently.

Tekno Superman, interesting!

After dinner, we play TECNO's Superman together. The children looked at the blue TECNO Superman who was much older than them with curiosity and fear. They are so thick-skinned, screaming and chasing Superman, and the loess on the ground is flying all over the sky. I was really worried that someone would stab Superman with a small needle, but it turned out that this worry was unnecessary. This little superman is played by one of our local employees. Our local employees are very happy to participate in such public welfare activities, which is why they do such meaningful things in their own countries. TECNO For them, this is a local enterprise.

Dynamic light wave!

High-tech gray machine, mysterious!

We hope to record all this with drone aerial photography, but the drone's buzz obviously attracted the attention of most students. The children looked around curiously, wondering what this flying thing was.

Hey, what's that noise?

The children are looking at the camera of the drone happily. Let's record this moment from another angle.

The school is not big, just two rows of school buildings, all aided by foreign aid agencies, and one classroom has not yet been capped. Now some power sources in schools are solar energy.

The school is not big, and the planned area is large!

Our one-time donation can't really bring much change to children, but let them be curious about new things and let them know that the outside world is wonderful, Makea.

Different, that's enough.

I think the children in these schools will have a good time on June 1st.

The Black Photography Association recently published a new book, Traveling in Africa-Travel Photography and Later Guide.

The Black Photography Association will donate 5 yuan RMB from the sales cost of each book, and set up the makeadifferent Fund of the Black Photography Association, which will continue to invest in the production of EA for poor Kenyan children.

In different projects.
