Kibera Factor: 100 Yards
She can't see the end zone from the kick off line but she has been promised by her handlers that it is only a 100 yards away. She is wearing her designer oversized rubber boots. The barely four-feet-wide field is brownish green: heaps of garbage-strewn mud in the midst of a massive slum. Located on the outskirts of Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, Kibera is the place to be if you want the world to see your human side.
The TV crew swims along through the mess to capture the coveted touchdown. Layers of armed mean-looking security guards form an orbit around the foreign body. They ensure there will be no intercepts. This is a single player version of football. It's a sold out crowd. Thousands of slam dwellers enjoy the free show. Some stand on the bleachers aka rusty tin roofs tops to catch a glimpse of the action. No tickets required. She holds her nose and takes on the first yard.
The crowd cheers as she wades through the trash and the leaking raw sewage. Twenty yards to the goal -and there it is. This end zone is made of a group of HIV patients who have been collected by a charitable organization from around the neighborhood to form a seamless backdrop. The star brazes for impact. And then, touch down! She scoops the custom living trophy admiringly -a filthy covered child with a swarm of flies making a galaxy over his face. There is a stampede as the members of world media scramble for camera angles. Stop the presses! For the western media this is a breaking news story. We interrupt regular programming blah, blah, blah.
As expected she delivers the recycled victory speech. She is not alone. If only promises were horses! Dozens of dignitaries, world leaders, movie stars and politicians have used the same script. They have endured the 100-yards challenge and had a similar photo-op.
Majority of the slam dwellers are not looking for handouts. They want good paying jobs. Many hardworking shopkeepers are looking to expand their enterprises. They want to own land so that they can elect permanent structures. Thousands of smart creative people live in Kibera and including highly educated college graduates.
One of the major obstacles of Africa's attempt to attract investors and tourists is the unbalanced reporting and gross negative portrayal of Africa by Hollywood and the western media. Most western investors are not aware of the plentiful low-cost labor, fertile land and under-exploited potential for tourism that Africa offers. Handouts and promises of handouts are not sustainable means of developing any nation. Africa needs local investors whose motivation is profit. It's the private enterprises and trade that will help in wealth creation, jobs and prosperity in the long run.
Technological advancement has enabled Africans to continue telling Africa's true story to the world. The high-yield-potential Africa. The beautiful tropical beaches. Millions of college graduates. Yes, the Africa beyond the kid with a swarm of flies on his face that the western media and some charities have been peddling for the last 50 years.

first you have to make sure your ink pads arent too dried out. if that is good then it is probably the pressure you are putting on the stamps. you have to apply even pressure all over the stamp to make sure the ink transfers from the pad to the stamp and then to the paper. i sometimes find it easier to set the stamp on the table (with the stamp side up) and then take the ink pad and press on the stamp with the ink pad. then you can see where your ink is on the stamp. and then to transfer it on the paper if it is a large stamp i will sometimes even stand on it to get even pressure all over. if its not any of these problems then the stamps are probly just really bad stamps that you shouldnt buy again. hope i helped and good luck!
