Kenya and my Kikuyu firends November 23, 2007
Erika Warren (Phoenix, Arizona, USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I spent three months in Kenya living with people from the Kikuyu tribe working at an orghanage in Dagoretti Market. I wish I had read this book before going. Now I have a better understanding of Kenya and it's wonderful people. When I go back next year I will take the book and hopefully improve my ability to integrate closer. I still know very few words in Kikuyu!
Thank you for the information in this well written book.
