    Mission in the Slums Of Nairobi
    (Tangaza University College, 1998-02) Simon, Thomas
    `A slum is an industry that produces all sons of criminals' - this is the image of a slum that I get from daily newspapers and magazines. Robbers, murderers, thugs, drunkards, thieves, adulterers these are just other names given to a slum dweller Since it concerns with a good number of people of Nairobi, I made up my mind to go for a thorough research regarding the slums of Nairobi. Being a member of the Society of African Missions, I will be sent to any place in Africa for my priestly ministry. Since I am well acquainted with Nairobi I believe that a detailed study of the Nairobi situation will help me as a microcosm from which I will be able to proceed my missionary tasks to the place that I am going to be sent. Secondly our Superior General Rev. Fr. Daniel Cardot after having visited all the SMA priests in their mission fields came up with a remark that a feeling of an "unfulfilled mission" is found among most of the SMA's, and that some of them are even frustrated. So that he urged us to concentrate on different kinds of mission. As I am very much interested in the slum mission, I am sure that observing analysing and studying the situation of different slums in Nairobi will help me to find a fulfilled mission in my mission area.
