Kenya is beautiful. The weather in Nairobi literally is perfect. The people I've met here so far, both Kenyans and ex pats, are each more impressive than the other.
There is such passion here devoted to helping Kenya forge its way through barriers and roadblocks we can't even imagine. I've met Kenyan after Kenyan who are extremely well educated, incredibly well-informed and fiercely dedicated to their country. There are ex pats here who have spent their lives working with Kenya and other developing countries. I am a bit surprised and gratified by their willingness to meet and talk with me and explain what they are doing and why.
And there are formidable barriers and roadblocks. There are great laws on the books with laudable goals, but few mechanisms and scarce funding for enforcement. But there is forward motion, fortitude and hope. There is much to do, and there is much being done. I don't want that message to get lost in these posts.
It sounds like you have been placed there for just a time as this. ; )
