As part of one of our service trips we had determined to build a feeding center in the slum of Kibera.

Unfortunately, the path to the center took us through raw sewage, mud and slime. We decided that we would construct a clean pathway for the use of all the public in the area. We started by collecting all the scum and garbage that formed the path and built a form for what would become the sidewalk. We installed piping to channel the sewage and brought in truckloads of gravel. We built a bridge over a creek and repaired all the leaking pipes. Once the pathway was complete and groomed, it really looked terrific. The locals were overwhelmingly pleased and asked us if we were going to continue the path all throughout  Kibera. I responded that we have started the work, it was now each tenants job to carry it on. They didn’t.
