Backstory
"I met Kelly Nganga in a Nairobi slum one day in March, 2010. As a young boxer, Kelly's dream is to be picked up by the Kenya Armed Forces and box professionally. Each day at five in the morning, Kelly wakes up to train. In the evenings he returns again, using free weights he made from cement and plastic jugs. He's part of a hodgepodge group of adolescents, each from different tribes, that calls themselves the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation."
