Christine Wangui
The People of Mathare

My name is Christine Wangui.
I am in class 7 in Valley View Academy. In our family there are ten of us. I live in Mathare slum in a place called Bondini. My hobbies are taking photos and playing football. I like photography because you can make a lot of money out of it if you work hard.
So in future I would like to be professional photographer so that I can help my family to move out of the slum and have a better life with them.
