Well, this is the first time I use the internet in 2 weeks so I am pretty excited! Nairobi is different to what I expected and the first week has been hectic. Although before departing to Kenya I sent several emails to Kituo (organization I am working with) regarding housing, the issue was left in the air until my arrival, which became problematic. After 3 nights in an overpriced hotel ($60USD/night for dirt) and several attempts to find housing in places that were highly inadequate guided by a co-worker, I have finally found a place.

I haven't had time to enjoy Nairobi or do much work since I have been roaming the streets in a desperate attempt to find a place to live. The offices where I work are in a very poor area of town that has not been paved and there is no drainage system. Thus, given that is rainy season, it is necessary to walk through a pool of very lively and colorful water that reaches the knees at some points.

The office where I work is new I've been told, which may explain the lack of organization. Anyways, I cannot say much about work because in the few hours I've been able to spend there nothing but reading their mission statements/strategic plan has occurred. Hopefully next week I can share something more interesting.

Take care guys.
