Upendo Hero calls the soldiers of Love for an action, Nov. 27 2011 @ Kibera

Dear Soldiers of Love
In Kibera some friends of ours have been trying to get permission to use a destroyed government building that was ruined during the 2008 elections.
They want to start art classes, karate classes and other things for the community. The government says no, and they are now thinking of building a wall around the entrance to shut everyone out….

This is why we need all of you to help us!

We will walk through kibera and end up at this building where we will cover the area with art, listen to music and have a great time. If you want to help us in any way let me know!

Please spread this love message around

where: Kibera
when: Nov. 27 2011 at 11.00 A.M
