Saturday morning

I traveled with Moses Wanderi, computer teacher and Lucy Waithaka, tailoring teacher, both working in the Nakuru Counseling and Training Institute, a long way  from Nakuru to Maralal, which is the capital of Samburu district. Our aim was to visit Irene Girls Trainings Center, where they have a production line in Garment Making Department Artisan/Craft.
