Jamhuri

We make our bags in a place called Jamhuri just down the road from our main office at Lenana Forest Centre. Jamhuri is the Agricultural Society of Kenya Showground. The place is only really used for one week a year for the International Trade Show at the beginning of October (during this week getting anything done at all is a nightmare: Edinburgh residents imagine running a business in the middle of the Highland Showground during the Highland Show and you'll get the picture). For the rest of the year it's largely a ghost town of concrete pavilions for Government Ministries and agricultural businesses, emblazoned with slogans and painted in relentlessly optimistic colours. This is a small selection, I'll try to post a few more on Flickr when I have a better-than-dialup connection.
