1.- Two days ago a hospital worker Miró her mobile, He hit a scream and ran to everyone's bewilderment. We later knew that they had raped their six -year -old daughter and that someone had sent her a video of the event. Men escaped and since the woman does not have enough money, the thing will be anything. The same day, a student of 25 years he was sentenced to two years in prison for publishing comments insulting Uhuru (The president of Kenya) On your Facebook profile. But "Hakuna Matata", ¿Eh?
2.- Last weekend I went to throw the garbage, On the way back I entertained my fruit and I could see how a group of people pounced on the bags to open them and check if there were something they could use. I remembered that I had thrown fish in poor condition, So I went to tell them that they did not eat it, that would get sick, but they ran with the bags before they could arrive.

3.- I had Christmas gifts and Rose, The girl who cleans the house, He asked me that if I could keep the wrappers because they were beautiful. I knew what to answer, I simply affirmed my head. Then Rose first began to smoot them with great care and then folded them into perfect squares. When it ended it thanked me.
4.- Nicholas, The Kibera boy who works with me, He spent the whole Christmas Eve looking at the sky, To see if the star saw.
- What star?- I asked when he told me.
"The star that sends us to notify the birth of Jesus," he replied.
- And you saw her?
–No, It was cloudy, But I have never seen it, I think I always look at the wrong address.

5.- Vivo, As you know, In an orthodox missionary hospital. My colleagues are Egyptians Coptos and their children asked me to see them to sing carols on New Year's Eve. I went around before I went to dinner with friends, But I arrived soon. I found a group of Kenyan children singing and representing small plays that had been rehearsing during the last month. They all made great. The public was formed by some of the mothers of those children and a father. There was no one belonging to the hospital mission. At 8:30 Bishop Copto entered, So Kenyan children stopped singing and sat next to their mothers. Then the Egyptian children took their place before the look of all the members of the mission. Three carols sang that had rehearsed the day before, Without any grace. But, The Church was totally full, Everyone recorded them with their mobiles, Everyone applauded them very strong. I wondered how hell those people could have so little sensitivity.
- Why don't you join Egyptian children with Kenyans?- Asked.
–Because the Kenyans come from Kibera And we do not want to expose our children to that environment, Imagine that one day the children find glue - one of the Egyptian mothers explained to me.
«I don't cook, Cook my maid, Am I feminist?», One of the women of the mission asked
6.- On Friday afternoon women meet to read the Bible and talk about their week. Personally I get along very well with all of them, But I don't go to meetings because I don't share beliefs or ideologies. The fact is that to celebrate Christmas they decided to make an invisible friend and it seemed a good idea to participate. I bought the booklet Chimamanda Leather Add entitled "We should all be feminist", I wrapped it carefully and went to the meeting. The woman who touched my gift said: Feminists are those who teach the chest, ¿no? another answered: And do not cook. Then, One of them said: I don't cook, Cook my maid (I clarify that the word used was that, maid) Am I feminist?

7.- The women of the mission decided to prepare some bags with a kilo of rice and a kilo of flour in each, To give it to Kenyan workers who came to church last Sunday. I proposed that instead of spending money on something that will last a month, We could invest it in the education of children or in family businesses. They refused because they can't physically involve something like that, They referred to the opportunity to spend two days getting flour and bag in bags, And therefore they would not have the opportunity to feel good people. The happiness of these women that Sunday giving food sachets was inversely proportional to the usefulness of the act itself. And is that in this mission, and in many others, It seems that the important thing is the satisfaction of its members and not having a real and beneficial impact on the field. Because (And this deserves another article) It seems that we could help more stopping helping.
