This is the Red Soil School outside the village of Ngong. Before I left for this trip I was asked to get some shots of girls in a classroom, but Winrock had not set anything up in advance. I asked how to go about doing this and was told to just walk in and ask. So while my writer was conducting an interview I went to explore a school next door. And just like I was told they were all too happy to show me around and let me take photos of the kids. This was completely different than shooting at a school in Springdale, Arkansas where the teachers try to set up your shots and harp you about getting permission slips from the kids' parents. The shot of the classroom was actually during their midterm exam! I hope a white man with a camera wasn't too much of a distraction.

Awesome stuff Neemah! My experience in the Philippines was similar. The school I visited was all too happy to let me wander around and take photos. No questions asked. You're there man, don't hold back.
