If you are a history lover or just love photographs there is an event you need to attend today. Pawa 254 will be showing a preview of some old and rare photos from the Kenya News Agency.
“Nearly 1 million photos from this collection are now being digitized, and the photos will be made available to the public online. The photos span the colonial government to today and include photos depicting every day life, major historical events, buildings and architecture and cultural highlights.”
