LIFE IN KIBERA SLUMS
Neji se ne ljub več pisati, mene ste se že naveličali in zadnji čas je, da na našem blogu naredimo spremembe. Preden sem srečal Eve je bilo moje življenje zanimivo….danes lahko rečem, da je srečno. Ostala je v Keniji, a skoraj ne mine dan, da se ne bi pogovarjala po telefonu. Je dragulj za katerega odideš tudi na konec sveta.
Pa pojdimo v afriški svet skozi prelepe oči moje princese….
LIFE IN KIBERA SLUMS
Living a complete life without toilets, good housing, stinking sewages and general poor sanitation except liquor. Every day is just another day in kibera slums, you wake up in the morning and what starts your day is feaces and sewage flowing at your door step instead of breakfast. The best home you can own in the slum is shanty: made of iron or muddy wall and iron or grass roof with no floor. No toilets in the slum instead you help yourself in a nylon paper which you discard later at night in the dark since there is no power in the slums and nobody is looking at you.
You only eat one meal in a day if you can afford by chance or no meal at all. The slum dwellers live on less than half a dollar a day and still survive. Everyone in the neighborhood is the same hence nobody can empower the other. The dwellers favorite activity is liquor drinking which cost 10/= or even 5/= They get completely drunk and sleep the whole day thinking that their problems are sorted out that day as they console themselves that tomorrow will take care of itself.
The kibera residents prefer doing their activities at night than daytime because they involve criminal activities like waiting for the late birds and mug them off their phones and valuables that they sell the next day and make money for drinking cheap liqoiur.
In the slum, comes a casual laborer who has to walk about 20-25km every morning in search of job for the day which is not guaranteed at all thereafter walks back to the slum in t6he evening either with something to spend or nothing at all. Life is really hard for them because they got families to feed and kids to educate and without forgetting they need their daily liquor. Their wives and single women in the slum sit outside middle class estates gate to wait for someone to hire them for household task that day for little pay as 100/= and it’s not definite.
The last class of kibera slum dwellers have permanent jobs e.g. watchmen of monthly pay as little as 2000/= These people are forced to live at the slums since that is the only living standards that they can afford but still pay through their nose. Don’t forget this class too has to drink liquor everyday to avoid thinking so much.
It’s sarcastic that the people who don’t have enough for themselves are the people who spent the little they earn on liquor.
Bye, Eve Africa
1 eur=95 ksh
Pomeni, da ljudje dobijo okoli 22 eurov/mesec. In ne si mislit, da je Kenija poceni. Navaden Kenijec ima redko za obrok sadje. Mesa skoraj nikoli….
DOBROTA SE VEDNO POPLAČA
Odraščal sem pri starih starših. Moja stara mama je bila izjemna osebnost. Se grem stavit, da je bilo celotno njeno življenje brez ene same laži. Naučila me je, da ni razlik na tem svetu. Vsi ljudje smo si enaki. Nikoli ne bom pozabil prizora ob njenem pogrebu. Bil je sončen dan, pihal je blag veter in v tistem trenutku se mi je narava zdela prekrasna. Kot, da bi še nam zadnjič hotela pokazat na kako lepem planetu živimo.
Nek drug dogodek se mi je zgodil pred kratkim. Vem, da so v Keniji težki časi. Nemiri po volitvah in podražitve hrane na svetovnem trgu sta močno vplivala na življenje v tej državi. Ljudje tam bodo kljub temu preživeli in bodo tudi tedaj, ko v Evropi nobenega več ne bo. V to sem prepričan…Včasih se spomnim na svoje prijatelje in pošljem kakšen funt. Zadnjič sem poslal Amini 100 eurov, kr tko…nenapovedano. Je moja turistična vodička iz Malindija. Mi pravi “Peter, I’m so happy….thank you…thank you” Kolk malo je potrebno, da ti nekdo naredi lepši dan, mesec….ne jaz njej….Amina je men polepšala moj life…
Tretjič….v nedeljo zjutraj dobim sporočilo iz Slovenije, da je blog full dober. Ni ga večjega veselja, ko te nekdo pohvali….moje spisi so le redko videli 3….največkrat 2, velikokrat -2 in včasih se je zgodila tud 1. Se še spomniš Matjaž najinih ocen pri SL. Moje pisanje je še danes zanič….dober je moj način življenja….brez meja, veliko prijateljev in dom kjer koli se ustavim. FREE MAN WITH BEAUTIFUL KENYAN PRINCES….NEJA, kup prijateljev v večih državah…to je moje največje bogastvo….
Bye, Lazy Peter
