Internship in Kenya: Transition Town Kakamega & Rainforest

Dear friends,

the last week was full of meetings. But, it was worth it: Transition Town Kakamega is finally registered on TransitionNetwork.org (https://www.transitionnetwork.org/) as mulling initiative! Together with the core team we met Florence Masika, an assembly member of Kakamega County, and also visited the Mission of the Fatherless as stakeholder of TT Kakamega. On Friday, 19th the registration of the initiative was successfully completed by the core team! Lets hope for a good development of the newly founded movement!

On the weekend, we had a trip to Kakamega Rainforest. There, we took the Yala River Walk together with Nixon, chairperson of KEEP. He told us about the challenges of preserving the rainforest and gave us some hints, how to survive in the wilderness. After 6 hours of walking and enjoying the beauty of the forest, we ran into people, caring their selfmade brew out of the woods. All in all, it was an enjoyable and nice trip after all the hard work!
