Yesterday we went to Nairobi University to hear a lecture about water and sanitation projects being done by a local NGO in the slums in Nairobi. After we went to Nairobi's water santitation board and had a talk from their CEO on government water supply and sewage collection in the city. Apparently only 40% of the city is supplied! 40%! and that doesn't even count the slums because the official government stand is that they don't exist. Then we went back into the city and had a talk from the city council about the beautification projects in the city, and some rather questionable stories about where all the street children had gone.
It is unbelievably gorgeous and sunny today and perfect T-shirt weather. I'm not rubbing it in, I just need to convey the full depth of how happy this morning is. Tomorrow morning we are flying out to Kibale National park where I think internet is going to get a whole lot sketchier, but I will keep my fingers crossed and be in touch soon!
It's warm here too!!! it's a balmy -17 degrees before the windchill!!! Nothing a little parka and a pair of Sorrels won't fix!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to google Kibale National park to see where you're going. xo antmarg
I figured out how to blog! SO now i'm super excited that I can creep you all day long, and read about your adventures...Except I don't know how I feel about reading about hot t-shirt sunny days. I look outside (nope not go outside) and see lots of snow. Ew.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, I want you to come home to me scratch free!
