Transition Town Kakamega

The managing committee of DEMA

This week I gained the first stakeholder over to participate in Transition Town Initiative Kakamega. After meeting the managing committee of Disaster & Environement Management Association (DEMA) of Masinde Muliro University, Alexis and I attended the weekly meeting of the association. We had the possibility to present our project idea: Next week the teamwork will start. Since, together with the most interested members of DEMA we will identify other stakeholder relevant for the project. Then, we will arrange interview appointments with the aim to find more stakeholders willing to participate. All in all, the project starts to fall into place!

 Besides the project, we celebrated the 30 wedding anniversary of Rev. Timothy and Jael Olubero. It was a great and joyful ceremony at Abundant Church in Kakamega.

But the celebration was tainted with sadness due to the terrorist attack near Mandera. 28 innocent people died. I´m sad and shocked about this iniquity. My thoughts are addressed to all the victims and their families. Let´s hope for a peaceful future and the end of Al-Shabaab terrorism!

Always yours,

Frauke
