SOS Children's Villages: Nairobi Woodworking

These inspiring images were photographed in Nairobi for SOS Children's Villages by Jens Honore. He wanted to capture the kind of education the children do get, once they get older and leave primary school. The images were taken at a technical school, where students learn Kenyan carpentry, with an artistic touch. The professor, shown smiling in a hat in one of the images below, takes inspiration from animals for furniture and carvings and ancient tribe decoration for doors and other wood surfaces.
