The Struggles of Living in Northern Kenya
In our book Facing The Lion there is a boy who lives in Northern Kenya and has a lot of struggles when living there. There is 46% of the people under the poverty level and all of those people have no homes. Despite there economic growth in the last two years they are still one of the 30 poorest countries in the world. Also there are 1.2 out of the 19.5 children not in school which in my opinion is much to many. For children in Kenya it is very unsafe, between 10,00 and 30,00 kids have been abducted and sexually abused. So what is your opinion about the living conditions that the boy in our book faces daily?

Good post Jacob I am also reading Facing the Lion. I like how you mentioned how bad life is for them which makes people in America realize how easy everyday life is for us. In the book Joseph Lekuton has to fight for everything he has like how he got in a fight for shoes. In America we go to the store and get shoes and we don't have to worry about somebody stealing them. I learned that after the book was published he went to America and went to college.
