Week 15 - Welcome Visitors
Rodger Mulla brought friends from Colombia, England, and France — passports thick with stamps, shoes still uncertain on our steepest climbs. Eleven years had passed since high school hallways; the reunion smelled of sweat and roasted maize instead of chalk.
We walked Kibera the way we always do with guests: slowly, pointing out the beauty that does not advertise — a tailor’s neat stitches, a mural arguing with grey tin, children inventing games where city planners saw only gaps.
A good day is not performance. It is honest answers, shared chapati, and the moment a visitor realises “informal” does not mean “without dignity.” We hope you left with fuller eyes — and if you did, tell someone else to come. Referrals are how trust travels faster than any brochure.
If your school, church, or company wants a grounded tour with community hosts, reach out. We schedule carefully so visits support, not strain, the people who open their lanes to you.
French and English braided with Kiswahili in the lane; a child sold sweets from a bucket and practised counting in three languages because that is how Saturdays go when the world walks through.
Rodger’s friends carried questions that did not sound like pity — more like people trying to learn a song by ear. At the office steps we paused so someone could point out where a church choir rehearses on Thursdays, where a metalworker files sparks into the gutter, where a mural has begun to peel and still refuses to disappear.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
