AboutKagi Expertise I can answer questions on the overall Kenyan culture, our history (given some time to confirm the facts), and our way of life in the towns and rural areas. I'm not claiming expertise, but if you want my opinion, I'll give it to you.
Experience I am a Kenyan, I have worked with various children's homes and aid organisations to get a hint of the other side of the street, and I enjoy observing Kenyan life. I have also done a number of courses in culture.
Organizations I Choose Life (ICL), Kenya Book Foundation (KBF), and SIFE
Publications A local magazine in Kenyan estates in Nairobi, AdPaper, and my university newspaper, Involvement.
Education/Credentials A liberal B.A in Communication.
Question Hi my name is Toaila and my Question to be asked is what are 20 different things between Australian people and Kenyan people?
Answer Hi Toaila,
Sorry for the late resopnse!
Well, I have to admit I don't know much about Australia, but about Kenyan culture, I guess the differences would be more there, right? Sorry, you would have to pick the differences if you spot any!
Kenyans different bone structure from caucasians, that is, their lips are broader and cheekbones are g=high. Also, noses tend to be broader and flat rather than thin and pointed.
We name children after either grandparents, time of day, event at the time of birth like war or drought or harvest, ancestors, and so no. Names are never randomly picked or debated.
Also, most Kenyans living in urban areas have an upcountry home, not as a mark of wealth, but its 'home'. Urban areas are sought for employment, and during holidays, we go 'home'.
Kenyans have 43 tribes.
Well, I know Australians get paid better for odd jobs than Kenyans do. So their economy is better.
Most Kenyans get to primary level education due to lack of funds to enable university learning.
Back home, strangers are treated wuth utmost hospitality. No one who seeks help from rural folk is treated with suspicion. I don't think Aussies would welcome people quite as freely.
Umm, our foods are dofferent. Kenyans eat ugali, githeri and muthokoi.
About 70 per cent of the popularion is Christian.
We don't have a prime minister, only a president and his cabinet.
There is no royal family.
The country is divided into 8 provinces.
We have 222 members of parliament.
I've run out, do you want something very specific or just general stuff? I feel like I'm being very irrelevant! Can I get time to think a bit more or do these give you enough points? Do you want cutural things or political? Social?
Let me know please!
