Leamington who\u00a0 gave us a flavour of life in Kenya today.\u00a0 We looked at a film showing us the different lives of two schoolgirls, one living in Nairobi, and one living in the countryside near Meru. She brought along various artefacts from Kenya: decorated gourds used for milk and other liquids, a child&#8217;s vehicle made from wire, musical instruments, khangas and more. The khanga is a piece of cloth, highly decorated and coloured, that the women wear. Santosh demonstrated one of the many way of wearing it using one of our members as a model.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1415\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-Gaynor-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1415\" src=\"\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-Gaynor-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"One of the many ways to wear a khanga\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-Gaynor-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-Gaynor-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the many ways to wear a khanga<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1416\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1416\" src=\"\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Santosh and decorated gourd\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/kenilworth-and-district\/files\/2016\/06\/Santosh-2.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santosh and decorated gourd<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The contrast between these lives and those of the women and children described in the SIGBI article:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/our-charities\/meru-womens-garden-project-2016-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/sigbi.org\/our-charities\/meru-womens-garden-project-2016-2019\/<\/a>\u00a0showed clearly the level to which the Meru project aims to raise the women of that area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Guest Speaker at our June Business Meeting was Santosh Kundi from\u00a0 S.I.
