First election "lock down"

The election period was not so good for my friends in Mathare. Dixon, the headmaster and I were in contact through Facebook and he told me that his family was locked up in their house and that the school was looted. They destroyed about 36 desks, stole computers, printers and a TV. I saw on TV that the area outside the school, on Juja road were very violent. They were burning tires and the police were shooting. I could actually recognize the area, because it’s close to Moi air force base and I could identify the wall. It is really sad that I can’t use the money from Rotary to build desks and buy a printer, but the deal with them is only building and fixing classrooms.
