09: Kibera (Part 1) — Non-Profits, Foreign Aid, and Being Helpful
Description
In this episode, Dan and Sade discuss Kibera, Kenya, and providing foreign aid via non-profit organizations (NGOs). We also spend a few minutes discussing Texas; resources to donate and get help if needed are also linked below.
As a heads up, Dan’s mic is a little bad, so it’s a fun day to play “where in the world is Dan”? Let us know your guesses!
