Vistiting 10,000 refugees in Nakuru

sh. Today we visited the refugee camp in Nakuru, where 8,000 to 13,000 people are stationed. We learned about their sorrows and their lack of perspectives for the future. They have always the same question in their minds: where should they go, because there seem to be no possibilities of returning home. At the same time they are happy that some white people take care of them. Some refugees not only let us watch the situation but also had a long conversation with us, in which they explained their situation. We promised them to come back and we definitely learned that things are not going well but we do not know who is responsable.
