Vikki, a Maryknoll lay missionary working as the Education Coordinator of the Christ the King Parish, oversees 10 education projects. She walked with us through the Kibera slum, the second largest slum in Africa, with about 1 million population. On the way, she stop and chat with people from time to time, greeting them with a big smile, saying "jumbo jumbo" (hello). She said that she treated all the people she served as friends.
