Out and about

More often than not, the mostly unpaved, dusty roads of rural Kenya are formed by many feet, one-speed bicycles, and the now-omnipresent Chinese “boda boda” motorbikes. Mornings and evenings, rush hours indiscriminately merge together adults on their way to farm or market, streams of children in uniform trudging back and forth between school and home, and herds of cows and goats stoically commuting in search of meager pastures. What in other countries would be mere streets surrendered to automobile traffic become family and community networks, playgrounds, and an ambling interaction of the human and natural worlds.
