Kenyan soapstone carver Elkana Ong'esa has earned an international reputation for his carvings. His sculptures adorn the entrances of the United Nations building in New York and UNESCO's headquarters in Paris. Now a new work will be unveiled soon at the United States' embassy in Nairobi, inspired by Kenya's recent post-election violence. Cathy Majtenyi met Elkana Ong'esa and files this report for VOA.
