Julia and I have arrived in Kenya early to work on another project before we get started on our EWB work. For the next three weeks we'll be meeting with several NGOs, including WWF, Nature Kenya, and Birdlife to talk about REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation). We'll also head to South Nandi Forest, which was once part of Kakamega Forest, to train Nature Kenya on Carbon Surveying. While Julia grew up in Kenya, these next couple of weeks while serve as a great time to acclimatize to not only the higher alitude (most places we'll be traveling will be higher than 5000 feet) but to draw accustomed to the local customs and accents. Hopefully i'll also pick up some Swahili.

TAC Approval and Tickets!
EWB international approved our trip today... and first thing that we did was buy our tickets to Kenya! We are excited to get out in the field and implement the project that we have been working on all year. This is the first time to Kenya/Africa for 3 of us, and so we are all excited!
