I visited an IDP camp today- delivered six maize sacks of clothing left by our visitors. Here are some numbers for you: 1,200 families or 6,000 individuals living on 6 acres of land on 21X24-foot plots in shitty {excuse my French} tents left by the UN. They have received no food rations from the Kenyan government since February, though they did receive some unga last month unexpectedly. There are 240 children who attend an improvised school there: no building, no chalk, no crayons, no books.
It's been two years since the clashes, a tribal war likely perpetrated or fostered in part by Kenyan politicians.
These are the people for whom the world needs to be saved.
Food for thought...
