London: the little smoke

A final post for today. We heard from some volunteers working in slum of Nakuru that there is another slum not far from town called London. Its existence is supposedly denied by the government.

It's built on a rubbish dump. People live in two foot high caves. They wait for the rubbish trucks to arrive and they scurry through unwanted remains to find food, things to sell and things to entertain their children.

People collect battery acid to sell and use to get high. Some have consequently gone blind. The rumours about this place were insane.
