Everything recently fell into place for us to plan a return trip. We purchased our tickets a few days ago, and we are getting ready to leave. We will fly out this coming saturday (may 30th) and spend 22 days in the Kwale district.
We are very excited for this trip. Last year, we spent so much time meeting with people, conducting interviews, trying to learn about the felt needs of the community, observing, theorizing, and planning. Over this past year, many of those plans have come to life and are now fully functioning projects. We are really looking forward to seeing things in that phase.
We have kept in close touch with Terry over this past year. She is truly an amazing person to have as a partner for this kind of work. She has spent this year pouring her heart and soul into the different projects and making last year's plans and dreams a reality. We are so grateful to her and we can't wait to see her again.
We will be updating this blog while we are in Kenya. Feel free to pass the link along to anyone you think might be interested. Keeping this blog was a great way for us to feel connected to everyone back home last year. Comments on this blog and emails sent to our regular email accounts are welcomed. Here is the link to the blog. (copy and paste it into an email to tell people where to find it).
