[For the curious] Children's entertainment in Kenya (observations of Xenia from Kenya)

in children •  7 years ago 

 an interesting photo report, an educational report on the journey through Kenya. I think many of you have read posts from Kenya. Most of the material was published on the pages of my blog, but as far  as education and education are concerned, I specifically left them for  publication through the community's blog.

Kenyan schoolchildren from the end of November and until mid-January on vacation. My story will be about what children do in Nairobi, when there is no need to go to school. It's a pity, of course, that I did not manage to communicate with the  guys from Tony, our Kenyan friend, but I tried to be more observant,  listened and listened to a diary where I recorded everything that was  unusual.

Kenyan children, like ours, find employment almost everywhere. 

 Someone climbs a tree, and little Lizi digs in an anthill. 

 And Nikas fumbles with a stick. 

 All Kenyans are fans of football, that's why numerous sports grounds were not empty. In the school and yard football fields, boys play football. Tony  said that often the older guys do not take kids into the game, she saw  how the boys, 13-14 years old, attacked a 7-8 year old young athlete,  who was not very upset, as it turned out. He just took the ball and went out with him to the street. I  caught myself thinking that it's dangerous, if the ball slips out from  under the feet, then its owner can also be on the roadway under the  wheels of the car. All has managed.

Several times I saw on the street guys playing in something similar to our bast shoes.

On weekends, children rest with their parents. Visit parks, zoos, if finances permit. 

 Such walks are a usual thing for weekends and holidays in the zoo of the Nairobi National Park. 


 The children of a Kenyan friend of a brother. 

 Children are taught from their childhood to work. Small children, along with their parents, sell fruits and vegetables. 

 I already published in my blog a photo of a girl who, together with her dad, serves the citizens on the street. They repair clothes. Look closely at her worried and tired look. 

 Before the New Year and Christmas holidays, children have the same mood. Together with parents they go to supermarkets, learn how to choose and buy food. Several times I met children with grocery baskets and a list of products to be bought. Such a way of teaching financial literacy. 

 A little blurry photo, but such a cutie.

Interesting? Write in the comments. I  will prepare some interesting photo-excursions to the Kenyan capital, I  will introduce people, I will tell about what they are doing.
