Flower GirlsWhat a month. We are all trying to keep a business as usual attitude here in Kenya but each day is so unpredictable. Most areas are safe and the media is showing the worst violence in the most affected areas so it is probably hard to imagine that there are any safe areas if you are not actually in Kenya but the incidents are in known and generally contained areas. Most Kenyans want to go back to how things were and understand that the violence is being funded and that the fight for ‘justice’ is being fought using the most disadvantaged members of the population to cause havoc and make it seem like the majority of Kenyans are full of hate for members of other ethnic groups. This simply isn’t the case. A few friends and I went to lay flowers at Freedom Corner in Nairobi for peace this week there was a ceremony eariler in the day with many people with messages of hope and love showing up.

I wish this picture was bigger, so we could see all the beautiful flowers. I heard that Kenyan woman were getting together for a flower ceremony. It looks like it was a success. Lisa
