This video shows how kenyans live in their own territory, and have fear about not to survive.

unforunatelly the most common job in Nairobi, Kenya, is called Matatu Driving. they are taxi driver, but it has created rumos and stereotypes about this workers; like the poorest people or the dangerous transportation because the many accidents that have occured.

Sometimes Matatu drivers have to break the rules. It´s not allow to pick passages in any place, and if the cousil officials catch them, they could go to prison. But what can they do? that´s their daily life, scaping of the police, trying to get enogh money to suport their families and living in terror about to go to prison.

Kenya is a place with so many poverty. A kenya man said: "30 millions of people are hustlers and 8 millions are the reachest", that´s the difference in the society, poverty vs. wealth. Social class and education are the perfect example about what´s happening all around the world. the differences and the circumstances of many people trying to survive and be strong to the obstacles.

James Kariuki wanted to be a great writer, the reason why he desided to become in a blogger, to express what he feels and what he is living in Kenya. his life and the truth about what´s happen. Billy, a publisher of a very important blog, wanted to help to Kariuki because they had the same idea about show the reality of the events. the real social events that happened in Nairobi.

A person who usually scape of the justice is call a "reluctant outlaw". Kariuki was this kind of person, but not just because he wanted to. He had to do it because was the only way to support to his family. The only way to survive in that society.

Comparing this event in Kenya with Barrnaquilla and its mototaxistas and bus drivers, there are so many differences, because in barranquilla is more common this job than the other countries like the one of the video. Colombians are more respectful about jobs, compared with Nairobis. Perhaps colombians would read a blog from a bus driver, but it depends about the quality.

Violence against Afrocolombians: we make the change.

In all around the world the African culture has been considered as the poorest culture of them all. their education is low and their population is one of the highest in every country.

Nowadays, African culture is even in colombia, and its called as Afrocolombians. they still mantain their customs and beliefs no matter where they were living or doing. But what are this culture doing in colombia, a subdevelped country?. Some of them has arrived to colombia to space of the violence from other countries communities that doesn´t accept the differences between them.
the time´s passed and all this africans has created new generations which lives in colombia as Afro descendants. however this culture has the same problems as their predecessors; they have poor education and almost no economy to survive in this society. Besides, they are victims of different types of violence; social, physical, verbal, sexual, etc. what are we doing? they are just humans trying to live as normal as other people.

But society is totally changed. Americans or even mayority of white people have though that just because we are "the white race", we have to, or we have the possibility to control african or african decendants and if they refuse is fine to use violence just because they are "minority" nowadays. unfortunatelly Racism, slavery and murders are the main problems for this culture.THAT´S THE WRONG MIND.

In the other hand, we have the opportunity to make a real change to help this people. Perhaps, we don´t have a lot of money to give, but we have the gift of change minds and make the world realize about what they are doing against human life.


NO MATTER CUSTUMS OR BELIEFS OR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US, WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM THE SAME WORD. LET´S CARE EACH OTHER.
