Was at Kibera Recolonised. allow me to tell you of a village in Huruma that i have come to know through Rotary/Rotaract who decided not to wait for aid but started a microfinance and have gone ahead to build self contained flats of at least two rooms each through their efforts. For me that just did it. Its a das pity that even in coporate world, expatriates who are no better qualified are put on a pedestal and paid more than a guy who works the same Job.<BR/>As for Ms Femme, vagina monologoues et al give the clit a break, there is more to a woman than a clit comprende!.<BR/>PS:You have a way with words that is really good.gishungwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07004963900093206403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21441013.post-1152829232649420022006-07-14T01:20:00.000+03:002006-07-14T01:20:00.000+03:00Sorry, I forgot to put my name-anonymous above is ...Sorry, I forgot to put my name-anonymous above is njoki.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21441013.post-1152829101914649302006-07-14T01:18:00.000+03:002006-07-14T01:18:00.000+03:00And Potash as always beautifully flawless writing....And Potash as always beautifully flawless writing.

What with the westerner coming from her cushy-pushy comfortable life to illuminate the vaginal woes of the african woman. I for one am all for Ms Femme ( despite her uninformed ideas of Africa.I don't blame her for her ignorance, because we all want our countries to be rich and comfortable enough for us to be able to ignore the rest of the world). At least Ms Femme is giving the eradication of female circumscison(which unlike male circumscision has no medical or hygenic value) a shot, by giving it a wider audiance.So don't blame Ms femme, because she has(at the crux)got good intentions. And yes I know about the road to hell paved with good intentions, but I rather get there, clitoris, outer and inner labia and as a whole Vagina, intact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21441013.post-1152750712656071432006-07-13T03:31:00.000+03:002006-07-13T03:31:00.000+03:001.)
