Glad to be onboard.

My flight from NYC to Nairobi was supposed to have a one-hour transfer in London. Due to a delay in departure, that one-hour transfer turned into a mad 10-minute dash to the gate. Surprisingly they let me on the place without a boarding pass. However, my luggage is still back in London.

Being the last person to arrive in Nairobi, it was really impressive to observe how much the team had accomplished in a couple short days; institutional relationships are being formed, Day 1 is well prepared for and everyone has a good sense of the city and the surrounding area.

In less than 7 hours, we’ll be starting the project. The first adjustment we’ll need to make is presenting our workshops to a group of 30+ youths in a boardroom that, by North American standards, is suitable for 10.
