DAY 1 (C) RETT, SUSANNE, BRYNNA

October 1, 2013
Nairobi
 KAZURI BEADS
 After the Elephant Orphanage we went to Kazuri Beads.
Kazuri means "something small and beautiful"
Some women were sweeping the leaves in the compound
and Susanne and Brynna took a try with the short brooms.
Where the beads are hand crafted.
Phillip is the care taker of the center.
Brynna with a woman and her plate of clay beads.
Phillip sowing the molds to make some of the pots.
By the potter's wheel.
We were there at lunch time and the women who worked here
were having their lunch.
Beads on the frame ready to be fired.
By the tables where the beads are strung into 
necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Bottles of beads in the store where one can purchase
random beads to make your own jewelery or they
will string them for you.
