Margaret Warigia
The People of Mathare
I am Margaret Warigia.
I am a 13 years old girl. I go to school at Mathare Old Primary in Mathare slum. In our family there are five girls and I am the fourth born. My hobby is taking photos of Mathare slum and cleaning my environment. I like taking photos of everything that is happening here in the slum.
The first time that I was give the camera it was really hard for me to use because I did not know how it works and my first photos that I took were not nice - even me I did not like them. But after some days I started to be better. Now I know how it works. Thanks to Julius Mwelu for showing us how to use a camera.
