David uses his bike to get water for his family with two flat tires. Like all the children I met he is very smart. David can speak swahili, his mother tongue (tribal language) and english. In school he studied calculus. He knows world geography better than I do. He is also very curious about everything we can tell him. For most of the children that can get to a school, education stops around age 12. After age 12 most of them start living life. They are treated like young adults by their family and tribe. The teenage years of western culture do not exist in the outback of Kenya.
