I met these women last week in Kalama Community Conservancy. They are part of a group of 300 jewellery makers from whom come some of Kenya's most exquisite jewellery. . They get their raw materials from @nrt_kenya 's Trading arm. After making the jewellery, NRT sells the jewellery on their behalf to markets as far as Australia. .

My Only Child

#NEWPOST My Only Child | by @AbigailArunga

To be honest, there’s only two reasons I’ve ever wanted a credit card. To travel easier, and for my car.

The first is pretty self explanatory. I’ve never been able to truly understand people who don’t like travel. How can you not want to see new places and cultures? What does that even mean? How can you watch a movie and not want to see the canals of Amsterdam, or the headiness of Havana, or the…
