You may ask yourselves what we are doing here in such a distant country, also if we are going to ever talk about the jobs we are going to have while we here. Well this is a start to all this.
This week has been full of meetings with the objective of planning each of the projects we will be doing and develop new ones in the following weeks. We have all been assigned different tasks we will do during the stay.
Our friend Francisco will be in the business incubator. You may ask yourself what this is. It is assessing an already established informal company with new ideas and strategies, as well as looking at the problems they have. One case he has come across is a man that breads rabbits, which are dying in great amounts. Kiko as they call him here (it means a smoking pipe in Swahili) will try to understand the problem and develop alternatives.
Daniel will be giving classes on Spanish to people in Hodari center, in the western part of Nairobi. These classes will be three times a week and will last around one hour each. He will also be giving a course on IT to people who already now the basics, mainly outlining flash and html language.
I will be teaching as well Spanish but on the eastern part of Nairobi, in a place called Salem, which is short for Jerusalem. I will be giving these classes five times a week to a big group of people over 20 years old. As I am a great fan of sports I will also be training a team of youngsters in football for the next two months.
As you see we are starting to work and will try to be as busy as possible during our stay here. We will be incorporating new work tasks to our list in the following hopefully.
