About the Book

Traveling to Kenya for the first time, Michael Schneiders expected to see the wild animals of Africa, both, prey and predators, the struggle for survival and the never ending search for food, but it wasn’t lions and tigers that attracted his eye, but the half clothed, starving, street kids of Nairobi. Schneiders writes a compelling and humorous account of his two weeks in Kenya as he searched for new and innovative ways to address hunger, housing and education among Nairobi’s young generation. Share the despair, hope, tragedy, compassion and humanity at its groveling worst and at its heavenly best.
