hi John

info on Nick and the tenderfeef project:
i do hope you get time to watch the short 5 minute
film made by LAHASH if you are not already familiar
with the reality of life in kibera.
i can vouch that nick is deeply committed to this
project and his 20+ year journey to get to do what he
is doing has been far from easy
