discovering informal settlements 3

This was a hard day… too many kids at once … Even Nashwa couldn´t control the kids in MN any more … They had great fun with a stranger like me. It´s nice to talk and play with the kids there but after a while I should go on, walking further and talking pictures…hard to do so if kids are jumping in front of your lens all the time, singing nice songs and clapping their hands… and getting more and more and more… wow…
Adults tried to help us to get rid of the crowd by jelling at them and threaten them with broomsticks, no chance… Finally we escaped on a taxi and drove 100 meters to jump out again. A great experience in the end…
