 Thanks to the generosity of Manu and his team, Hamomi Children’s Centre (www.hamomi.org) in the Kangemi – Nairobi, Kenya now have their very first microscopes!

 Despite losing power for over a day, we were able to capture many pictures of various specimens and it was a GREAT intro to the world of microbiology for the kids here in the Kangemi slums! I was able to hold several sessions for grades 5-8 in small groups at a time! Not having AC power didn’t matter!
