I used to live in Kenya with my parents. The capital of Kenya is Nairobi.
Nairobi is also the largest city. In Kenya there is also Savanna. The president
is Mwai Kibaki. Because of the altitude Nairobi gets quite cold at night and in
the early morning, but being on the equator, when the sun comes out it warms up
quickly. The two official languages are Swahili and English.
Here are a few words of Swahili:
jambo = hello
asante = thank you
asante sana = thank you very much.
kwaheri = goodbye (to one person)
kwaherini = goodbye (to more than one person)
rafiki = friend
karibu = welcome
Kenya Coat of Arms
The National Anthem
Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
O God of all Creation
Ilete baraka kwetu
Bless this our land and nation
Haki iwe Ngao na mlinzi
Justice be our shield and defender
Natukai na udugu
May we dwell in unity
Amani na Uhuru
Peace and liberty
Raha tupate na ustawi
Plenty be found within our borders
Amkeni Ndugu zetu
Let all with one arise
Tufanye sote bidii
With hearts both strong and true
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Service be our earnest endeavor
Nchi yetu ya Kenya
And our Homeland of Kenya
Tunayoipenda
A heritage of splendor
Tuwe tayari kuilinda
Firm may we stand to defend
Natujenge taifa letu
Let all with one accord
Ee Ndio, wajibu wetu
In common bond united
Kenya istahili heshima
Build this our nation together
Tungane mikono
And the Glory of Kenya
Pamoja kazini
The fruit of our labor
Kila siku tuwe na shukrani
Fill every heart with thanksgiving
