The world’s highest-paid parliamentarians, and vast slum areas.
Inspiration Days
In Nairobi, our guide Martin will take us into the world he grew up in. Martin is a Kenyan living just outside Nairobi. He attended a folk high school in Norway and is familiar with our culture and language. Martin grew up in the Mathare slum and still volunteers for projects in the slum. We will meet the people he knows well and cares deeply about, gaining a unique insight into a different culture and life situation. There are many inspiring people here, individuals with a burning passion for those who have the least.
We will also experience the tourist life in Nairobi. This includes feeding giraffes, visiting markets, an elephant orphanage, and enjoying African food and scents.
