Materialism v Happiness





During our time in Kenya one comment was repeated time and time again. This, very simply, related to the fact that We have so much, and they have so little but THEY ARE SO HAPPY.

I think that basically they were trying to answer that age old question 'Does money bring happiness?' and I think that this simple question was adequately answered during our 10 days in Kenya.















































There is much, much more to life than computers, iPods, Mobile Phones, Games Consoles and MP3 players etc. and sometimes we need to just sit back and remember that we, in this day and age, are so very fortunate but that 95% of the world's population can't afford the basic necessities of life let alone the luxuries that we, everyday, take for granted.














All of these photos are of people from Naselot/Turkwell, Lomut, Tikeet/Masol Plains and from in and around Marich itself.
Simply.................. Happiness is West Pokot!
