Still in Nairobi

Nairobi National Museum

In the last days Michael and Alexis arrived in Nairobi and now our team is complete. Unfurtunately, Alexis´ laguage is still lost, so we have to wait for it before leaving to Kakmega.
But we used the first additional day not only for still owing arrangements in the Center of Nairobi but also for a visit in the Nairobi National Museum. The exhibition was great and we did not only learn a lot about Kenyan society but also met Lucy and Turkana Boy! Indeed, very affecting was the special exhibition about the terrorist attack at Westgate mall in Westlands (Nairobi). On 21 September 2013 at least 67 people died, no matter which age, religion or race. The message of the exhibition was "in the end we are all just humans" - a great and truthful installation!

Special feature of this week was Tuesday, when electricity was gone and work impossible, we went for a swim in a pool of a nearby hotel.

Our beloved home in Nairobi

But hopefully, we´ll be able to leave soon for our project!

Cheers,
