Between the national reserve of Masai Mara and Lake Victoria in Kenya, near the village of Lolgorien, a small rural market is regularly held. Sedentary or nomadic Masai villagers of the region think nothing of traveling many miles to reach it. Presented on mats on the ground, the merchandise on sale is mostly used clothing from charitable associations—like many other goods in poor countries, they were donated by residents of wealthier countries. The gulf between rich and poor nations continues to grow: the gross national product (GNP) is approximately 17,000 dollars per person in Europe, whereas it is only 340 dollars per person in Kenya. |
