A Kenyan family (seen cmprehension -04 at alim)


Hello. My name’s Charles Karoro and I’m a banker . My salary’s okay but the day to day expenses in Nairobi are  pretty high. Both housing and food are costly in the capital. I’ve rented an apartment but it’s really  too small for my family . Of course it doesn’t have  a garden. So my wife Maria, who lives gardening, can’t grow antthing. She can’t go out to work either because there’s no one else in the house to look after the children. So the whole family depends on my income alone . I’ve great hopes for my children and would like to send them to a good school. But good schools arevery expensive. I’mnot sure how much I’ll be able to help them. Moreover, I’m often in a fix about whether I should share my income with my brothers in the village who need help with their children’s education and other things, or use  all my money on my own family. I’m another problem too . My relatives often come to Nairobi hoping to find jobs. They expect to move into my apartment and stay for long periods  of time. They  don’t seem to rialise that the cost of living is so high in the city . I love my relatives a great deal but life can be very difficult at times.
