    Personal highlights

    1. Kawangware: district in Nairobi labeled as a slum with 800'000 people
    2. African Church: singing and dancing with happy local people (see video)
    3. Hospitality: visiting a friend, eating ugali and playing ludo with the children
    4. Living in the slum: paying rent for every small room - like everybody else
    5. Electricity: prepaid for every single watt via mobile money (m-pesa)
