As the tourists carry their shadows protecting their eyes of the sun of broadcasting, their eyes also are protected to see the extreme poverty conditions Kenyan are confronted to.

The this had been three years since rain had decorated the ground of Kenya. This had for result the worse drought in more than a decade in Africa of the East, leaving millions of Kenyans suffering. The local populations are the biggest victims as they look at their cattle dies and their harvests destroyed, the almost impossible fact to a brand a life.

Brand Jenner, 18, United Kingdom, decided to give to 3 months of his time carries itself voluntary with the Network of Voluntary Global one to the Kenya. Instead of attending a dinner cultural organized evening that you would find normally on a vacation of typical packet, it chose to test the true gasoline of the culture Kenyan by to live and the functioning in the local community, it felt carries itself voluntary was a lot more authentic one.

"I wanted to do something serviable and constructive in Africa, this is a continent that needs the more of assistance as every segment of corporation has its own problems".

The drought consequences had an impact on not just the local villagers but also on orphanages and the schools in the sector. A lot of schools already had a lack of provisions but the position intensified that meant that the local schools were at the closing risk because of the conditions and the lack of necessary food to furnish daily meals for the children.

"The daily survival here a such fights, there is not security for does not import that. All airplanes a duty to try and do that fights easier, to carry itself voluntary is a fantastic beginning".

The Kenya ordinarily also is known as a destination of vacation of safari that receives visits of thousands of tourists every year. As the vacationers appreciate to run it hot water and the luxuries in the stations of modern Nairobi, the local populations do not harvest in most of the any cases of the advantages products by tourism.

"The people that live in the rural sectors count on the rain for their wins bread. They live in the small huts of mud with no airiness, no windows, or no electricity. A lot of women have not an occasion to obtain an education or a good norm of medical services as the this is too dear. This does the diseases as Tuberculosis and VIH more running, contributing at the level of poverty that most of the people are not conscious of.

The rain lack meant the food lack that influenced Kenya and the other African countries of the East that were victims of the drought. The brand, with the voluntary others and the personnel of GVN, had a passion to help. GVN did go out a donation call for the drought and raised almost US$10,000. The personnel of GVN and the voluntary ones transported two trucks of food to two local schools and the local towns, enough to nourish the community for at least another month.

"Around 600 people is held expects the food for provided that 8 hours, walk a lot of just kilometers to arrive to the site. They reacted with a direction of relief and of recognition, as if a weight had been removed the entire community.

As Marks and the voluntary ones helped to distribute 10 tons of corn of beans and ground, the people grouped together being done its tail with their bags empty hope. Despite poverty conditions and the famine risk, together they are themselves united as a community.

"A lot of persons carried two bags for the food, the one for their family, and another for a neighbor or a friend. The boss of kitchen of Maasai said me a lot of persons were sick and could not walk the distance and if the neighbors collected a bag for them. Even when the people live in poverty they always have a direction of community and of look out for not just itself but of others also"

Ironically the day that the food arrived rain was furnished it with. But the miracle of height of precipitations turned soon in the mutilation for the somewhere else of Kenya. Heavy rains had for result now the conditions of poor transportation and the flood, the difficult fact for the assistance distribution to attain the towns component the problems.

"The principal problems do the facing the Kenyan people finds enough money to eat, goes to the School, and have a decent norm of medical services. The under nutrition is a major problem.

According to the International Center of Research of Development the local Kenyan people do not harvest the advantages of income produces international tourists. For example less than 2% of money spent to the Maasai Mara universally known the National Reserve takes advantage the people of local Maasai. Rather, most of money goes to the luxury lodgings, to the transportation costs, and to the voyagistes of foreign packet. Even the income of the prices of entry of park so high qu'Etats-Unis$27 by the day go directly in the public Treasure of the central government.

According to the UNICEF nevertheless an outside every five children under the age of five is at the malnourished Kenya.

This was one of the disastrous realities that Marks and the voluntary others of GVN came some to an accomodement with, that tourism impact, so not person in charge, did the rich one richer while the poor ones suffer silent. The brand was happy that it chose to carry voluntary instead of goes on vacation.

"One of my most of the disastrous moments was when I visited my voluntary colleague to the slums of Kibera, the poverty levels overwhelmed. Almost 5 minutes after I went out of the slums we fell on a supermarket of the huge west that all has would be located typically in a market. Kibera shocked but the constraste between the slums and the supermarket was unbelievable, it spoke a lot of how radically wealth is polarized to the Kenya.

Although the Kenya is very dependent on money produces international tourists, the local populations do not feel do or see the advantages in their community; rather they sees that the vacationers swiming in the reserves while they work all day long awaits the precipitation height to grow their harvests.

A lot of countries in the process of development suffer the same imbalance of rich and poor people. Using the voluntary ones likes that the Brand, that exchanges in a vacation of packet of summer for carries itself voluntary with the local community, the dreams of can of change some day is the reality.

"The numerous Kenyan people said me, give 5 years and the this to Kenya will be a fantastic country. Even in Kibera, a huge slum, there is a direction of development and a community direction"

The brand is itself voluntary reach with the Network of Global Voluntary, an organization non-government based in New Zedlande, that connects people to the communities in the need.
