Kenya GDIs Arrive and meet with Kickstart, Root Capital and Ministry of Water
Letter from Managing Director, Lily Muldoon, in Kenya:
We arrived safely in Kenya around 6am this morning with just one bag missing. Luckily it was filled only with granola bars, candy and other small things we won’t need until Kayafungo next week. The two days of training in Washington DC were highly successful as the interns learned about the ThinkImpact development model, how to conduct monitoring and evaluation on past projects, our asset-based community development system and what is in store for them over the next 8 weeks.
After an 11 hour layover in London and our arrival in Nairobi, life was non-stop as we checked into the hotel, ate our first Kenyan meal (surprisingly delicious!) and had three consecutive meetings with other non-profit social enterprise organizations and the Director of the Kenyan Ministry of Water.
Tomorrow we will take care of business in Nairobi and then we catch a flight to Mombasa early Sunday morning.
Everyone seems healthy and happy. Soon the Interns will be posting blogs on our website and you can hear more about life from their perspective.
Cheers,
Lily, Rachael, Rachel and Meredith
