Nakuru: 15,000 refugees wait for better future

rsh. Today we visited the refugee camp in Nakuru with 15,000 people. Ruth brought her harmonica and gave a 2-hour concert for the children who were happy to see and hear something new. Many children and grown ups are traumatized because of the things that happend during the last few days. We learned more about their destinies. Who knows how long they have to stay here. The locals don't see a solution in the near future, because it's not only a political question but a lasting peace has to grow through an understanding between the diffe- rent tribes.
