The different tribes could live together peacefully

sh. This was a day of organization. We had to plan the last things so that the 30 toilets for men women in our camp can be installed tomorrow. The sanitary situation has to be under control, otherways it is not possible for us to handle the refugees in the camp. We have to be strict that all regulations are observed. Together with our medical care and the disposal of fresh drinking water the minimum requirements are given. Thanks to Mama Matata we also should get the 300 blankets donated by the Swiss Red Cross by tomorrow. We still had to pay 18,000 KsH but luckily the Swissport Kenya abstained from collecting the storage fees of 90,000 KsH.

These young men in our camp demonstrate that it is absolutely possible that people from different tribes can peacefully live together. All the hatred is only a dark vision
in some people's minds!
