It's probably hard to imagine what life must be like in the slums of Africa.The Kibera slum in Nairobi is six hundred acres of mud and filth. It's not on any map because it's squatters camp - an illegal, forgotten city, yet at least one third of Nairobi lives here.Over the years the illegal slum has grown amongst the filth. Little businesses thrive with the inhabitants building and renting wooden shacks.The slum is can also be a dangerous and violent place. The Kenyan Government has done nothing for Kibera. No title deeds, no sewage pipes, no roads. There are no services of any kind.One American photographer recently traveled to Kibera to document a development project (Power of Hope Kibera at POHK.org).  Maureen Ruddy Burkhart describes her experience in her blog as a 'journey of discovery; a discovery of virtue.'  'With one eye I saw the ever-present poverty, lack of plumbing, and constant energy… and with the other eye I saw joy and love,' she says.
