Ken and his "pipe"


I spent Wednesday deep into kariobangi, a slum on Nairobi's east side. Over 50 % of the people in nairobi live in "unofficial housing" meaning slums. I will write about it over the weekend, I'm still kind of processing it- when I got back to Nyumbani all the Cottage D kids came running to tell me that while I was gone "ken got a pipe in his nose to help him eat!!" They were all quite excited and worried, I had to explain how a nasogastric (Ng) tube works. Ken is still struggling with eating, and if you don't eat the ARVS don't work. So, here's a picture of ken and his pipe.
