Selfie in Gasare
Hi everyone, this is time for a break on day 7 :) We flew to Addis Ababa and then we drove 7 hours south- east to reach the Oromia valley. We’re in a small village called Gasare, 2600 m on sea level. Tomorrow we’ll meet a new community practicing #FGM. In the meantime…that’s me vs …

Jacaranda
Hi everyone, here’s @simona.ghizzoni posting from Kenya. I’m back to some small village, in a very modest accomodation, but I have an internet connection now :) So, it’s time to say goodbye to Kenya and start the journey to Ethiopia…!! In the pic, the jacaranda tree, no doubt my favorite kenyan tree. #uncutproject #journalismgrants #breathing
Laughing
Day 5. @simona.ghizzoni posting from kenya. A masai former circumciser, now advocating against #FGM. Despite the troubled story she was telling us, being photographed made her laugh :) #uncutproject #journalismgrants #kenya
Girls
Hi everyone, this is @simona.ghizzoni posting from kenya on the 5th days. Guys here it’s becoming really hard to post, we are staying in a small settlement in Kajado county and we move every day to the masai community who lives in a very remote area. So, here again we are visiting a rescue centre …
