Community clean up actually involves getting dirty, really really dirty. You get so dirty on community clean up that more than one shower is necessary to remove the filth that settles into your skin. While the actual labor involved in this endeavor only lasts a few hours, you are reminded of the Mathare Valley trenches and trash piles for well over a day, as only time can eliminate the smell that somehow permeates the skin. In-fact, I think my feet are permanently stink-ified... it's been three days now, and at least a half dozen washes, and still they smell.

So what is community clean up you might ask? Well, I think a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will let the images do all the talking.
