At this moment I am writing from an internet point of Malindi, which is managed by an Italian. The staff and 'Kenya.
The ceiling fan does not reduce the effect of the hot cars of the computer.
the walls, the signs are written in Italian, espresso, there is' written, costs 60 shillings, which correspond approximately to 60 euro cents. A basket full of mangoes and models passe 'computers remember where we are. The heat and humidity 'here and show that' the tropics.
But around are more 'numerous written in Italian rather than those in Swahili. English predominates especially outside the city '.
The tracks are also in the Italian tricolor flag on the shirts of the guides, in large villas by the sea which reduce access to wonderful places. Residents of Malindi are equipped and often include fine Italian and speak it.
Muyeye too there are traces made in Italy. All school buildings shall contain the name of a benefactor, from Rome, Bologna, Siena ... also appears on the shelves with a black marker written. Name, Last Name and City '-Italian-those who have helped to buy it.
The Lord of the security at the resort two days ago told me that there 'really need help and appreciate what we are doing. He Aggie would be nice if we continued to build schools and garantissimo chance ' to attend. It also suggests that open orphanages. When I say that it could also be the responsibility of government services dealing with the conversation back to previous topics, how we are right to come here and do things.
The other day we went to the atoll, and that place 'called' Sardinia 2 ', but there are also' Milan 2 'and' bologna 2 'which are areas of the village of Muyeye.
Perception and the Kenyans' that Italians are wealthy people, and if we compare our lifestyle to that of some parts of the population of this area will probably find that there is good cause 'cause they see us as well' .
attitude often by residents and 'what's required: t shirt' to pen, schillings in general. Dealing with requests that are continuous and not 'easy and especially not' been easy during the first few days here. The first visit to Muyeye found us completely unprepared. The next time some of us decided not to go 'to the village.
After all, the perfect greeting in Italian that we hear everywhere, and the applicant's request for 'candy' reveals the passage of so many who came before us 'armed' bags of sweets and cartons of pens.
All this helps us to reflect on the role that we have here ...
