After the successful concert of dulcimer player Nicolas Senn around the Rhein-Valley Hospital we planned to go to the city centre of Nakuru to play again for the street boys and bring them some food as a little Easter present. As soon as we approached the main post office the people rushed from all sides towords us and were astonished about our colorful outfit in the Swiss tradition. We also were astonished to see so many poor people on the street that have nothing but their life, and the youngsters most of the time spend their time with sniffing. After the concert started the children were laughing and seemed to get some happiness. It didn't matter if it was a traditional Swiss country song or a American Rock'n Roll. Gaby Schädler from Swiss TV was trying hard to capture the atmosphere without being
overrolled by the masses. The situation became tense when we started to give out some food for the people. They feared not to get anything and were panic-stricken. Mama Matata had to climb on the roof of her car to bring herself in a safe position. From there she tried to continue with the food distribution but finally we had to stop the action and escape in the car. It was not safe for us anymore, to say the least. Anyway, we manged to make around 1500 young people happy this Easter Sunday!
