The Global Venture to Kisumu via Nairobi and Naivasha is over. Howard Marshall, Aby Morley, Alice Matthews and Morgan Phillips all enjoyed an eye opening and very successful trip. While travelling round Kenya they kept the Global Footsteps community up to date via the Global Footsteps blog. All of their entries are still up and are hopefully well worth reading.

The venturers spent two nights in Nairobi where they were looked after by the Gichanga brothers Kevin and Dennis before heading to the Elsamere Field Studies centre on the shores of Lake Naivasha. At Elsamere they spent 4 days in the company of education officer Cliff Barkatch and investigated the environmental and social problems facing the local area. From Elsamere they headed to their main destinationon the shore of Lake Victoria, Kisumu.

Over ten days in Kisumu the team managed to forge links with several community capacity building projects all of which were keen to join the Global Footsteps network. They also met with schools and churches who are keen to link with some counterparts in Gloucestershire. All in all it was a very successful trip from which much will hopefully emerge.
