Her name was Kaylee.
She lives in the slums of Mathre North in Kenya. She has lived there her whole life with her big brother. Both her parents died during the fight between two tribes in Kenya. She was so cute. She told me she was so glad that the fighting was over in Mathare Valley. So she held up the peace sign and asked if I would take a picture.She has shown me strength and she has shown me courage. I would not be the same person without meeting her and hearing her story.

In the Children of Mathare Valley photo essay.
