Green Pastures School

Last Friday we moved from the Tumaini school (in the Kibera slum) to the Green Pastures School in Kibera Slums. The Kibera slum is the biggest slum in Africa!!! The Green Pastures School is another school that is suported by the Giraffe Project. Green Pastures School is smaller than Tumaini, but has way more students! The school is basically a cute little compound at the edge of the Kibera slum. An interesting thing about the slum is that it is full of Muslim students! There are tons of little girls who wear hijab and little boys named, muhammed and abdullah and other very muslim names. lol. One of the girls was telling me that the reason why this part of Kibera is full of Muslims is because when the British colonized Kenya they oppressed the Muslims and forced them into a small part of the city called Khiber (now Kibera) and the Muslims still live there. And right by the school there is a mosque, so in the afternoon whilst doing medical checks we hear the adhan which is quite nice... but we're not allowed to leave the compounds so I havent visited the mosque yet.
