greetings from london
It is all a bit too familiar here at heathrow, where I spent a good 10 hours back in January on my way to India. My layover is shorter now, but I'm sitting in my 'regular' spot at the internet cafe. I have a long flight to Nairobi and then another flight to Kisumu, then an hour car ride to Kakamega.
I'm off to meet up with our Uganda and Kakamega teams, along with one person from our Mombasa team...we are going to spend the next week in Kakamega in an intense FSD training. In addition to several workshops, we'll be doing NGO visits, visiting projects that were funded from our grant competition, and visiting some interns that are currently in the field.
This will be the first time such a big group of FSD staff have gotten together since our Ecuador meeting several years ago. It's all pretty exciting!
It will be mostly work, but we hope to go to the kakamega forest one day. After my time in mombasa, I hope to go to a reserve on a day trip as well if there is time. Then, I'll be back here in London on my way back to San Francisco...busy/packed trip this time.
Okay, that's all for now. I'll write from Kenya.
