As we stayed in an Resort directly next to the Nairobi National Park tonight, we had an amazing morning view on the landscape and some ostriches, buffaloes and gazelles. The rural environment, generous roomsize and the first shower in some days let us forget the hectic city life instantly.
Today, a conference hosted by nyendo-lernen with all 14 headmasters of the CIFEFA-School-Network took place the Hotel. So we had the chance to present our backround and project details in front of the whole community. Also, it was amazing to listen to their speeches about how to strengthen their schools by self empowerment, community building and new business ideas.
All the schools are mainly financed by school fees, some raise money by renting rooms, selling vegetables they grew or soap they produce. The Nyendo-Lernen initiative enables them to not only survive, but also invest in their future.
Especially during the lunch and tea breaks we got closer to some of the headteachers.
In the evening we went to have dinner with Irmgard and her family. We were joined by Bart Eddy and his team who did a carpentry workshop at the Kangemi Youth Centre for the last two weeks and will fly back to Detroit tomorrow. They will come back next year bringing specially developed water filtration systems.
