Imagine this, you walk on a nice cocktail party and after a while, you don't know how and why, you realise that you are suddenly inside the biggest Slum in Africa. This slum is located in Nairobi and called the Mathare Slum. up to 1 million people live there.

| I wore a white tuxedo and traveled through the swamp of Mathare, impregnated with shit, people and rat cadavers, corpses of vermin and scattered AIDS-patients. The white man on inspection in his colonial estate. School classes jumped up singing "welcome!" and "thank you for visiting!" when they saw me in the white tuxedo. I gave out candy and let the school's director show me the damp, windowless classrooms. We visited illegal Dschanga-brewers on the Nairobi River, whose alcohol-like muck is often the only water source in the slums leading to consumption and blindness for many.
