The Trip is Still On

After many panicked days of searching BBC and the East African Standard for any scrap of news I could get my hands on and several vague emails from the Study Abroad Office at the University of Minnesota, I finally know the status of my semester in Kenya. The trip will continue with some restrictions.

I will now be leaving on January 27th instead of the 20th, and the possible locations for my internship are much more limited than before, but overall, I am very happy that my program is still going forward. I still encourage you all to follow the news on Kenya- there are many interesting and hopeful things happening currently, but also many troubling ones. I only hope that the former events exceed the latter. I will post again when I am in Kenya!
