Day 7: Artistic portrayal


This Sunday in Kenya we spent at a Lilly Pond. We arrived and followed a story about elephants and bees. This exhibition was a portrayal of nature and humans and how they can work together to eradicate conflicts between them. In Kenya elephants have become problematic in terms of eating crops and killing vegetation. Before, harsh methods were used to keep the elephants away. Going back into the history of elephants, they have always been afraid of bees.  Farmers have now developed new methods that increase the population of bees as well as keep the elephants out of their crops. The artist managed to capture the story in a colourful and energetic light. We then spent the rest of the day watching Kenyan plays under the warm African sun.
