Kindergarten #2

Yesterday Vegard and I went back to the kindergarten. This time it was much different from the first time; we came earlier in the morning, so the kids were awake, and very(!) active. They became even more active when we found the toys we bought them, and they loved it. Things as simple as a tennis ball was sufficient.

Another thing they found very fascinating was my camera. The fact that they found it fascinating resulted in me taking a bit of pictures:

What have these children done to deserve a life in Korogocho? What have I done to deserve a life in Norway?
That question is actually kind of irrelevant. What who has done to deserve what is not the question we need to ask. What's needed here is unconditional love, the kind of love that don't ask why or how much. What has to be done must be done. These children don't care that the "world economy would be imbalanced if poverty is eradicated", or that "africa has made its own tragedy because of bad leadership". These children are the hope of Kenya, the next generation. Again I have to emphasize the importance of education; if the young generation of Kenyans get their education, a lot of things will be different. Education is the path out of poverty. One thing is the kind of "charity" we did, but providing education and healthcare is crucial. Really.
