Visiting Naivasha and the large greenhouses

rs. Today we went to Naivasha city, about an hour drive from Nakuru. In fact we wanted to bring our monthly report to the MOH (Ministry of Health) and I also wanted to check about possible food aid in the future. But unfortunately nobody was there. So, I will try again next week and better get an appointment before. As we had a little time left we went to visit the big farms that also house the Havelaar Roses that are being shipped all over the world from here. In midst the new greenhouses we discovered the poor housings of the locals. Most of the farms are owned by white people.
