Last week in Kenya!!!

This week started out with our assessment for rainwater catchment system at the Lunga Primary School. Our hydrogeologist Mr. Omwamba conducted some more surveys at a site in Lunga to give us an idea of how the geology is different there and whether there is better chances for water. At the primary school, we found it challenging to take measurements because many of the buildings' foundations and roofs were not level. After we finished taking the measurements, we came back to Miranga village to conduct our final meeting with the community. We summarized our future plans for the project and presented our sincere gratitude for cooperating with us throughout the trip. The community was also very grateful to us for our dedication and hard work put into this project and wanted us to come back soon for another implementation trip. We bid goodbye to the community on Monday afternoon.

Due to the change of plans in the project, we ended our work a few days early. The travel team was very excited to explore Kenya in the rest of their time here. The team left Kisumu early Tuesday morning, and headed to Lake Naivasha, a very serene lake surrounded by mountains. We went on a boat ride on the lake to see the Hippos. It was quite an experience. Next day, some members decided to go hiking on Mount Kenya; the highest mountain in Kenya, while the others decided to go on safari in Maasai Mara; the large game reserve. Both trips turned out to be very exciting for the team, an experience they will cherish and remember throughout their lives.

We returned to Nairobi on Friday evening, and we're looking forward to ending the journey with some shopping and sight-seeing in Nairobi during the weekend.
