During the weekend (3-4 October) two students took us to their villages (Akwakra) around Kisumu. We travelled by bus on Friday to Kisumu, and continued our trip the next day with a matatu and taxi to get there (a real adventure!). We received a warm welcome of the family of our friends. Then we visited a secondary school where some teachers and students were gathered to help us out. We devided the group in two, to do the session. One was taken to get a better view over their wishes and their view on the practical aspects of the mobile academy. With the other group we talked about their future perspectives and what they needed to reach their goals.
After a lovely late lunch with the family of our friends, we traveled back to Kisumu (taxi, matatu and tuctuc; see the next post about the transport facilities we used in Kenya!). After visiting a church on Sunday we went to a small beach 3km outside Kisumu. An in-depth session with our friends (two students from the Kenyan Polytechnic University College Nairobi) was executed. After a small boat trip over Lake Victoria, we took the night train back to Nairobi again.
