Headed To Osani : )
Oops, moments before my first meeting with a member of Parliament, what do I say?!
Meeting with Sam Ngollo (OGRA Director of Sustainabilty) & The Honorable G. Otieno Kajwang (Minister of Migration)
Discussions Ensue
Its amazing what can be agreed on under the shade of a tree in Africa
He needs water and electricity for his area clinic, we can provide the water stations
We meet the Minister's father, everything is a family affair in Africa!
This is a beautiful country resort that is being built by the Assistant Minister of Security, the Honorable Joshua Orwa Ojode, the second member of Parliament we had the honor of meeting that day.
Sam Ngollo, OGRA Director of Sustainabilty & George our driver sip cool drinks while we wait to speak with the Minister
Another view of the beautiful country resort
Taking a quick tour of the grounds before the meeting
We nervously wait for the Minister
The Minister arrives and we discuss the Hygiene & Sanitation Program
He is impressed with our work and would like to schedule time to chat some more.
We bid farewell and plan to meet again that evening
OK, a bit more of negotiations before we hit the road
Happily we leave for the Osani Clinic to do training
The Minister take us on a tour of the impressive resort
He discusses plans to bring conferences to the facility
The Minister was very proud of his complex
He invites us to stay in his country home and attend a ground breaking ceremony the next day.
We enjoy the view while contemplating the change in plans
So how on earth can I be in Nairobi by Sunday night if we stay for the groundbreaking tomorrow?
We finally head off to Osani Clinic to launch a VCT Program and check on the sustainability garden. We decide to fly to Nairobi on Monday morning, making a stay over at the country estate a possibility.
