About 40k from the South Sudan border in the suffocating heat of Kakuma a bag of ice is all one needs sometimes to brighten ones day. Especially when it's 35-40C degrees.
If you have ever survived the heat of far north Kenya or visited Texas in August then you will understand the joy of discovering an "ice shop" in Kakuma. Since there is only spotty electricity and most of the shops are run by generator they had a very inventive way of creating ice here:

| Ice machine in Kakuma |

| The bags are stored in salt water to keep them frozen. |
Who knew a 30ksh bag of ice could bring me so much happiness in life? #it'sthelittlethings
