Kibera in Kenya

Hey everyone! I hope those of you in hot climates are enjoying being away from the cold and wet winter!

I really can't keep track of who was where and was wondering if anyone was in Kenya. I'm going to be in the Mara for a few days with Free The Children but get a day in Nairobi and was hoping to pack ALOT in that day! If anyone is in Nairobi please let me know because I would love to meet up with someone. I'm so dissapointed I'll be in Zanzibar after everyone leaves.

I also wanted to ask, if there is no one in Nairobi, does anyone have any NGO contacts there? I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see what any other NGO's are doing in Kibera, the slum there. FTC only works in rural areas so I'd love to take the time to see what others are doing, even if it is only for a couple of hours. If anyone does please let me know!

Hope you're all well!

Sarah,
I am traveling on holiday in Kenya right now. I am in Mombasa but am heading up to Lamu and Malindi soon. I just left Nairobi! My cell here is 07 3535 9717 you can call me.
My flight out of Nairobi is on the morning of Dec 23 and I expect to be back in Nai a few day before.
Let me know your plans.
Hugs, KellyB

Sarah, I am flying out of Nairobi to go home on Dec 23. I am here on vacation right now - my internship in Malawi finished in Nov.
My plans are to be in Lamu and Malindi (on the coral coast) for this week and then be in Nairobi the weekend of the 21-22.
I'll be in Canada in Jan - sorry! (Pole, as they say in Swahili)
