Special Episode is in partnership with the Limitless Journeys Podcast. Join us for a special podcast episode hosted by Kevin P. Henry, delving into captivating stories and insightful discussions.Welcome to the first episode of Limitless Journeys - the African Immigrant Podcast with Maura Clotilde and David Bulindah. Join us as they embark on a journey of inspiration, education, and entertainment as they share their immigrant experiences. Maura Clotilde shares her upbringing in Kenya, from her early years in Thika to her adolescent years in Nakuru. At 15, Maura made the life-changing decision to relocate to the United States where she faced formidable challenges, particularly with language barriers during her high school years in Delaware. However, her transition to Washington sparked a newfound love for nature, leading her to cultivate flowers and eventually delve into farming in King County.With a background as a mental health therapist, David Bulindah's narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Nakuru in the Rift Valley province of Kenya. Born into a large family, David grew up in modest circumstances, engaging in farming to, quite literally, put food on the table. Despite economic hardships, David and his family persevered, eventually establishing themselves as farmers in the USA.Maura Clotilde and David Bulindah's journey to establishing a farming community in Washington is a testament to their resilience and community spirit. Fueled by their passion for agriculture, mental health, youth and a desire to create opportunities for themselves and fellow immigrants, they embarked on the ambitious endeavor of cultivating a plot of land at Highland College. With determination and hard work, they transformed the space into a thriving gardening plot, cultivating crops and a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the immigrant community. Through their organization, Wakulima USA (meaning "farmers" in Swahili), they grew vegetables and a supportive network that empowered immigrants to pursue their agricultural aspirations in their new home in the USA.About our Host: Kevin P.

*) Top UN court to rule in Germany 'genocide' case over Gaza The United Nations' top court will rule on charges by Nicaragua that Germany if facilitating genocide in Gaza by supplying arms to Israel. Nicaragua initiated proceedings against Germany at the International Court of Justice, accusing Berlin of breaching the 1948 Genocide Convention. At a hearing earlier this month, Nicaragua requested the court issue emergency measures for Germany to stop its arms exports to Israel. *) Living conditions worsen in Gaza's Rafah amid rising heat, trash piles Meanwhile, garbage piles up and the heat rises in war-torn Gaza as life becomes even more grim for displaced Palestinians living in tents. Last week, temperatures already topped 30°C, turning the makeshift shelters made from plastic tarps and sheets into sweltering ovens. Rafah hosts about 1.5 million displaced, more than half of Gaza's population which has been besieged and bombarded by Israel for nearly seven months. *) Security deal ready for Saudi if it normalises ties with Israel: Blinken The United States is nearly ready with a security package to offer Saudi Arabia if it normalises relations with Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said. Blinken was visiting the kingdom on his seventh trip to the region since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which has then launched a relentless offensive in Gaza. President Joe Biden's administration, while supporting Israel, has sought moderation from its government by dangling the prospect of formal relations with Saudi Arabia. *) Scores of people dead in western Kenya after dam collapses At least 42 people have died when a dam burst its banks near a town in Kenya's Rift Valley, as heavy rains and floods battered the country. The dam bust in Nakuru county, washing away houses and cutting off a road, with rescuers digging through debris to find survivors. Monday's dam collapse raises the total death toll over the March-May wet season to 120 as heavier than usual rainfall pounds East Africa. *) Scotland's first minister Yousaf steps down after a year Humza Yousaf has announced his resignation as Scotland's first minister, before he was due to face two confidence votes this week. The 39-year-old quit following a turbulent year as head of the devolved administration, during which support for his pro-independence Scottish National Party has fallen. Yousaf had been facing growing calls to resign since unceremoniously ending the party's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens in the Scottish parliament.

How do we identify community and natural resource needs? What are people doing to thrive as well as survive? Executive Director Nelson Muiru of Kijabe Environment Volunteers (KENVO) talks with Jeff Ishee, Mary Sketch Bryant, and Eric Bendfeldt for a second episode on how they seek to balance the everyday social and financial needs of people and communities in the Central Highlands of Kenya in East Africa with important natural resource needs. Farming is a primary livelihood and source of sustenance for many people in rural Kenya. At the same time, people and communities rely on forests for timber and charcoal for everyday use and as a source of income. Therefore, it is essential to understand community needs and what people require to thrive while balancing and communicating how indigenous forests provide critical ecosystem services such as water catchment, erosion control, air purification, and pollinator habitat that benefit the local community, towns along the Kikuyu Escarpment, and even cities like Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu, and Mombasa. KENVO provides community-based leadership and education to link farmers and communities to existing and emerging markets for farm and forest crops, value-added agricultural consumer goods, and non-timber forest products.

The Children in Freedom School - which is based in Nakuru, Kenya – takes a slightly different approach to education. It prides itself on being the first “Afrocentric” school on the continent. Basically, they put African culture, identity and enrichment at the heart of everything they do in the classroom. They were recently shortlisted for the World's Best School Prize, putting them among the top 10 schools worldwide in the 'overcoming adversity' category. So, what does an Afrocentric education look like?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Healthier Hens Y1.5 Update and scaledown assessment, published by lukasj10 on April 14, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR Healthier Hens (HH) has scaled down due to not being able to secure enough funding to provide a sufficient runway to pilot dietary interventions effectively. We will continue through mini-projects and refining our plan for a feed pilot on the ground until our next organisational assessment at the end of summer 2023. Most efforts will now be spent on reporting, dissemination and fundraising. In this post we share updates, show what went well, less so and what others can learn from our attempts. Our mission and updated approach Keel bone fractures (KBF) are the second biggest source of hens' suffering after behavioural deprivation related to cages, and the biggest in cage-free systems. Our mission remains to reduce the suffering of hens by addressing this source of pain. Numerous studies indicate that dietary interventions can reduce bone fractures. Our goal is to find ways to help hens get adequate nutrition and experience less pain. Besides research and piloting activities, we are doing that by outreach and collaboration with Kenyan cage-free egg farming stakeholders (including farmers, feed mills, universities and regulators) to improve on-farm hen welfare. Please read our introductory, 6M and 1Y update posts to learn more about the background and progress of HH. Due to funding constraints, we have downscaled and now focus on building capacity through mini-projects before piloting an intervention on the ground. HH Y1.5 update We decided to scale down and as of the first of March 2023, HH is a volunteer-led organisation. We will have our next evaluation point at the end of summer 2023. Despite major delays brought on by the presidential elections in Kenya, HH is finally a registered entity in both the US and our country of pilot operations. We carried out two additional farmer workshops in Murang'a and Nakuru counties. A report outlining this work will be published in May 2023. The workshops revealed significant knowledge gaps coupled with expressed interest by the farmers to learn and improve. To retain engagement, we began providing free resources and formed a WhatsApp group to stay connected with motivated cage-free farmers. Cage-free farmer workshop in Nakuru county, October, 2022. Cage-free coalition strategic session in Naivasha in February, 2023. We have published the third volume of our hen feed fortification literature review. This edition focused on nutrient level recommendations and the potential of other additives to improve bone health. We have also published a report outlining our feed sampling findings. It confirms potential issues with Kenyan feed quality and compositional consistency. We are engaged in the formation of a regional cage-free coalition aimed at accelerating transition campaigns, led by African Network for Animal Welfare. We surveyed our staff in February. We generally felt positive about the organization's culture and values. The survey also reveals that we were generally satisfied with our team and work, but were concerned about the impact of the recent decision to downscale. We also felt that there was a lack of critical feedback and constant communication within the team. Our collaboration with the University of Bern indicates negative results of a split-feeding intervention. While we expected a decrease in KBFs without compromising egg quality, surprisingly, poorer egg quality, digestive issues and neutral-to-negative effect on KBFs are observed. To explore alternative fundraising avenues, we looked into several social enterprise concepts, where hen welfare benefits could be attained while also improving the livelihoods of African cage-free farmers. The chosen concept (a hybridised adaptation of the wor...
"Various places on the globe lack the proper knowledge, infrastructure and workforce to adequately treat cancer. In Africa, one doctor is focusing her efforts to change all that. This ASCO Education podcast spotlights Dr. Miriam Mutebi, the first female breast surgeon in Kenya. One of Dr. Mutebi's goals is to improve women's health and cancer care in Africa and includes attaining her pilot's license to reach remote areas of the continent. Dr. Mutebi reflects on her life growing up in Kenya (1:21) and her inspiration for getting into medicine and pursuing what was at the time a male-dominated specialty (5:07). She also details how cancer care has improved in Kenya in the last decade (12:49) while there are ongoing challenges of working in low-resource settings (23:25).

I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University. Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson, a medical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas. Pat, we have a terrific guest today that ties in very nicely with your interest in global health. I'd love for you to introduce her. Pat Loehrer: Thanks, Dave. Battling cancer is truly a global effort, both in research and in treatment. However, there are various degrees of quality in these fields, depending on the economic health of a particular region. Our next guest is trying to optimize cancer care in Africa. We're very excited to talk to her. Dr. Miriam Mutebi is one of the most prominent cancer doctors in Africa. Dr. Mutebi is the first female breast surgeon in Kenya, and she's currently assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University in Nairobi, Kenya. She's on the board of directors for the Union of the International Cancer Control. She has trained and studied at top hospitals in New York and South Africa. Dr. Mutebi is so focused on increasing women's health in Africa that she's trained to be an airplane pilot in order to connect with hard-to-reach areas. Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page. Thank you so much, Dr. Mutebi, for joining us from Kenya. Can you start off by telling us a little bit about what it was like growing up there? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I grew up in Nairobi, which is a pretty urban setting to grow up in. So, most of my childhood was spent…I think it was probably a much simpler time where, you know, you would play in the street, go off to somebody's house, spend the rest of the day there and come back at the end of the day. But in terms of growing up, I think I was one of those super nerdy kids, for want of a better word. One of the sorts of things that got me interested in reading and learning and challenging myself was actually my dad. Because what would happen was we had to go to school, I would say almost about 30 kilometers bus ride, and my dad would be like, “Well, if you're on the bus for that long, you can as well, you know, carry a book and made it nice and exciting.” So I remember sort of discovering the library at my primary school and going like, “My word!” Because you get access to all these different experiences and worlds. I mean, you're going in and reading, you know, The Chronicles of Narnia, you're reading about Enid Blyton and different experiences, you're reading all these different worlds and getting to, you know, identify to some extent with the core values that exist. It doesn't matter where the books were centered. And so that for me was an almost, I would say, idyllic growing up, because for me it was like, “Yes, books, check; running around, check.” That's, I think, what I remember most about my childhood. Dave Johnson: It sounds like your father was a powerful influence in your youth. Can you tell us more about your father? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Sure. My dad, how old is he now? He's going to turn 74. One of the things that he always says, “It costs you nothing to be kind.” And so he would generally– Sorry, I'm just going to stop a little bit. I'm getting weepy. Dave Johnson: I'm sorry. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: It's okay, it's okay. Shame. Dave, you pushed the button. Dave Johnson: It's not our intent to push a button. It sounds like your dad's a wonderful person. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: No, it's fine. Pat Loehrer: Both Dave and I have daughters, and we feel the same way. So as weepy as you're getting, I can guarantee you that he's going to feel the same way on the other end. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: No, it's just that he hasn't been well recently, so it's just– Dave Johnson: Oh, I'm sorry. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Yeah. Okay, cool. Let me see if I can stop getting a little weepy. Yeah. So one of the things that he frequently says is that it costs you nothing to be kind, and I think that's one of the things that he sort of instilled in us that you need to think beyond yourself. You always need to sort of think about what is the other person going through and how can I help to make it better. Now, my dad, he has a really interesting sense of humor. I think it's where I get my cheesy humor from as well. But he always talks about what we call the 11th commandment, which is, don't take yourself too seriously. And so I think that was part of the grounding steps that he sort of helped to instill in us because he was working– I mean, sort of looking back, our parents, I would say, got married at a very young age and had several kids that they were raising. And sort of looking back, you're thinking they were probably just doing the best that they can, right? But I think he did a fairly decent job, I hope. Dave Johnson: So, Miriam, when did your interest in medicine begin, and who was the inspiration for that? Or if there was someone that inspired that? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: At the end of high school, I remember I wanted to do five or, rather, was it six different things. And so I wanted to do medicine, I wanted to write, I wanted to do architecture, I wanted to do law, I even forget what the other things were. There was like two other things on my to-do list. And I think part of the genesis of that was because, as part of the high school training that we go through, we had to do the international sort of baccalaureate, and what that entails is we have to do components of creativity, action, and service. And so at the end, I'm like holding back to father dearest, and I'm like, “Dad, I have six different things I want to do, and I don't really know about.” And he was like, “So why don't you spend a bit of time, sort of just going through each of those, like shadowing these different specialties?” And so we managed to track down his lawyer friend, spent time in the hospital, spent time in the pharmacy, just shadowing the pharmacist. I actually went to work briefly for a publication house. Eventually– Oh, yes, in architecture as well. So then I managed to narrow it down to, “Yes, okay, I want to do medicine, and I want to write.” And so I went back to my dad and said, “Dad, okay, I have two things I want to do.” And my dad was like, “Well, if you do medicine, you can write. But if you write, then you might not necessarily be able to do medicine.” So that's how I sort of wandered into medicine. Although I still say there's still the great African novel waiting to get out. But again, with medicine, I think I'm guilty of what we call ‘end of rotationitis', where at the end of the day, you finish a rotation, and you're like, “I can do this. I can do this.” So I think going through different rotations– I think for me, the drive– Well, the slow narrowing down to surgery was really around, unfortunately, the time when we were doing our rotations, and this was just really at the start of the 2000s in Kenya. And the challenge around that time was we're really just at the tail end of the HIV epidemic, and not everyone had access to antiretrovirals. And it was an incredibly harrowing time, I would say, for the healthcare profession, just because there was still a lot of stigma around HIV. And what was happening was that we would go to the wards and find patients had been abandoned. And there was a general sort of pervasive sense of hopelessness because people didn't have access to the medication, they'd been abandoned, and unfortunately, not much was being done in terms of active management to patients. Whereas then that was like on the 7th floor, and then you would go four floors down to the surgical ward where patients come in, they're bleeding; you take them to OR, they get better, you send them home. And so, for me, the timing was like, “I need to do this. At least I could see where I was making an impact.” And so that's sort of how I wandered into surgery. And I'm sure, as I said, with, of course, the developments now, the experience, of course, for medical rotations, they're entirely different, but that's how I sort of ended up in surgery. But then, how I sort of found myself in breast surgery was actually because– for me, what stood out about my breast rotation was really looking at what we were reading in the textbooks, which was breast cancers, the disease of the sixth and seventh decade and a “poster child” for this is the elderly nun who's never had any children, who's had this prolonged [inaudible]. And I'm sitting there and looking at the clinic, and I'm like, “These patients are in their 30's and 40's. All of these traditionally protected factors, like having multiple children, having breastfed, ticking all the boxes, but they're still coming in with these kinds of cancers.” And so just thinking this is totally different from what the textbook is saying, and somebody needs to get to the bottom of this, and that's how I found myself going in along breast cancer surgery and also research into women's cancers and things. Pat Loehrer: My sense is that Kenya and many African nations were male-dominated. I don't know what it was like for you going to medical school, but particularly in surgery, it tends to be a male-dominated field. What was that like as a woman? In many ways, I think you were breaking some glass ceilings. I'm sure other women are doing similar things, but tell me a little bit about that experience. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I would say bewildering for both parties. Because we had to do several interviews just in different institutions before getting into a surgical residency, and I remember these senior professors sort of peering down their glasses and looking frankly bewildered and asking the most bizarre of questions, which I don't think anyone would sort of get away with in this day and age. I remember somebody asked me, and this one always stands out in my mind because somebody asked me on the interview route, “So what happens if you get a patient in ICU and you start to cry?” I'm like, “Well, first of all, I'm guessing that I am crying because I'm having a bit of empathy for the patient. And I think that actually probably makes me a better clinician because I am really truly seeing the patient rather than bed X with diagnosis Z. This is like Mary, mother of one, two, three, and whatever.” But it was really bizarre. Then somebody asked me as well, “Okay, so what happens when you're on call, and you have to breastfeed?” And I'm like, “Well, let's see. This is a tough one.” You could tell as well that they were really out of their depth. So, eventually I settled on the Aga Khan just because, in terms of the faculty and the interviews, I got a sense that they were a little more open to the idea. And that's because I think one of my earlier mentors, Prof. Raja, who is our former chair of surgery, had come in from the Aga Khan in Pakistan. And for him, it wasn't anything unusual to see women in surgery. So, like, “Yeah, come along. We'll train you and stuff.” And he was also pretty inspiring in terms of the decision to get into surgery because, for him, their approach to at least surgical training– and we always tease him and say, we all drunk the Kool-Aid because we kind of came back. Because it wasn't about just training surgeons for surgery's sake, it's about how do we become leaders, how do you impact care in your region. And so it was never about just learning surgery; it's how do you use the tools that you have in order to improve the health of those around you. In the Aga Khan, you're sort of, one would say, in a position of privilege. Just the backstory to those listening who might not know about the Aga Khan, it's a private university hospital. But I mean, as a private center, then, of course, I would say there isn't any difference, one would say, between the Aga Khan and most of the international hospitals anywhere in the world. But it was always sort of driven into us that this is a privilege that you're having. And how do you use this privilege to elevate the communities around you? Pat Loehrer: Let's talk about breast cancer, if you will, in Kenya. You mentioned it that when you first went into it, patients were coming in with advanced disease, they still do. But how has the field of medicine changed in Kenya during your professional lifetime as it pertains to breast cancer? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: While we still have the majority of patients diagnosed with advanced disease, the scenario ten years ago was that patients would get diagnosed with advanced disease and frequently would not complete their care. And if we did a deeper dive into the reasons behind this, we saw a constellation of factors. One being the fact that patients were having to pay out of pocket, resulting in financial toxicity, catastrophic health expenditure. And then the other major barrier was the health system itself. And again, to some extent, that still exists where we know, at least on average in sub-Saharan Africa, patients are going to see 4 to 6 healthcare providers before a definitive diagnosis of their cancer is made, which of course, again, translates into delays in ultimate treatment. Another area that we frequently don't necessarily talk about as much are the social-cultural barriers that exist and, to some extent, are still pervasive in some communities. What we see is, one, there's a lot of use of alternative therapies. There is still quite a bit of stigma around cancers. There is what we call collectivism, where we always say in Africa, ‘our community is our strength'. But sometimes, that sense of community is a double-edged sword because then, if the patient is losing agency, then that becomes a real concern. Because what we find, for instance– I'll give you an example, I'll have a patient come in and discuss, and maybe she has early cancer, and discuss the options of having breast conservation versus a mastectomy. And then you will find maybe she goes home to have a think, and then a couple of days or whatever later, there's a community gathering, and the clan elder is saying, “We have decided.” And I'm like, “Who's we? That's not your breast coming off. Like, what right do you have to decide on patient decision-making?” But you see, as much as we would like to sort of say have the patients have autonomy over the decision-making, it's really a question of equity and access to care. Because even if you're giving the patient autonomy, and she's saying at the end of the day, “Well, they're the ones paying for the treatment so let them decide what it is I'm going to have”, then we haven't really adequately empowered our women. And so those are some of the challenges that existed, I would say, about ten years ago. We're definitely seeing an improvement. One in the patient's ability to pay, and this, I think, has been a concerted effort by the government to come up with a National Health Insurance Fund, which initially wasn't covering cancer care but has definitely helped to ensure that the number of patients who actually complete their care or going through their entire cancer journey are probably more. I remember when I was doing my internship, there were like truly heartbreaking because, as interns, we would have the medical internists sometimes– and because there weren't that many medical oncologists– prescribe the chemotherapy and as interns, we were the ones who would administer the chemotherapy. And so, you would have a patient come in and it involves– Basically, we give the prescriptions like chemotherapy, but they'll also have to buy their own saline, the IV line, and everything else,,, and then they get the first cycle, and they just disappear. And then those were the times when mobile phones weren't that common. They literally just disappear. But then they come back six months later, and they're like super excited, and they're like, “Doc, we've raised enough money for the next cycle.” And we're like, “Well, it doesn't quite work like that.” So, with the National Hospital Insurance Fund, it's not perfect, but we definitely see more patients going through the entire care continuum, which is gratifying. I'm sort of putting on my [inadudible] hat as the chair of Kenya Society for Hematology and Oncology, and we've been working closely with the National Cancer Control Program, really to advise the National Hospital Insurance Fund on maybe getting more comprehensive covers. Because what was happening initially was, for instance, they would cover maybe four cycles of chemotherapy. Then the patient has to come up with the remaining four, for instance, and sometimes if they're not able to afford that, then you're sort of giving them the side effects without the therapeutic benefits of some of these. So they are currently in the process of really looking more at treatment plans, and that's also been, at least, a truly– And the fact that they are willing to listen has also at least been a huge stride. And then, of course, in terms of the real efforts, I would say by the National Cancer Control Program to ensure some of the decentralization of cancer services. Initially, we had only one radiotherapy center at the tertiary referral hospital in Nairobi that was having patients traveling from across the country, 400 kilometers or more, coming in. And you come in from a rural area, you come into Kenyatta and somebody tells you have to live there for a month, you have no family, nowhere to stay. People say, “You know what? I don't need to have this stage or rather have this additional treatment.” And so with the deliberate development of or decentralization of the radiotherapy services, we now have at least regional centers in planning and so really looking at how do we bring the services closer to people. And so, we now have, in addition to the tertiary referral centers, we now have two regional centers in Mombasa and in– Pat Loehrer: Eldoret. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: Yes. I think beyond Nairobi, Eldoret, we now have a comprehensive center in Mombasa. Nakuru's just launched a comprehensive center and Garissa as well, so really looking at enhancing our capability to bring these services closer. And there has also been the development of the chemotherapy units across the country that have at least tried to ensure that these services are more readily accessible to populations. And really just underpinning that with the support from the National Hospital Insurance Fund has helped to basically have more patients completing their care. One of the other things that I think deserves particular mention is really the grassroots advocacy that has really tried to increase awareness around cancers. And as a result, we definitely are seeing, as much as we are saying the majority of patients are still diagnosed with advanced disease, we are definitely seeing the entire continuum all the way from screen-detected tumors, early stage I, stage II cancers to more advanced tumors. So with that, it also really shows that there is a continuing consciousness that's really sort of driving these education efforts and awareness in the community. Of course, we definitely do need to do more because we still see that the advocacy's efforts sometimes tend to center largely around urban areas. And also, the question is how do we then sort of percolate that down to more rural areas? It's definitely something that's improved in the last ten years. And then, of course, we've also seen an expansion in the cancer workforce. And that, I think, has also been largely driven by the fact that we're having in-country training for clinical oncology, medical oncology, gyne-oncology, so we're really thinking about how to expand the workforce but– Of course, we are still looking at the patient-to-population ratios, those are still pretty low and we still recognize that there are deficits along the care continuum. But we're now having pharmaco-oncologists, we are having psycho-oncologists, increase in palliative care specialists. So there's definitely been an exponential growth of all the cadres of healthcare providers, whether it's oncology nurses and things. We've had an oncology nursing chapter now that's been developed. We really see the rise of the professional societies like the Kenya Society of Hematology and Oncology, and there is a lot of crosstalk between the academic institutions that are running the oncology training programs. So it's really a positive move in the right direction, but I think what needs to happen is, as I would say, more deliberate investment in the workforce. Because, again, even as we increase the spectrum of the oncology workforce, there's really a need to carry along the primary care providers because they invariably are the gatekeepers to access. And so unless the primary care providers are empowered and knowledgeable to facilitate early and timely diagnosis and referrals to the appropriate pathways, then it doesn't matter how many people or how much of a workforce you have on top of the pyramid. It just means you're invariably going to be still getting patients diagnosed at later stages. And so there's also been efforts around that to come up with, from healthcare provider courses to educating common signs and symptoms. This is something that the Kenya Society of Hematology and Oncology has been doing in collaboration with the National Cancer Control Program. There's a deliberate effort to come up with an online platform that are actually able to give real-time information to primary care providers. And so, I would say there are definitely steps in the right direction, but there definitely needs to be more investment in the entire spectrum of care. Dave Johnson: Miriam, what you've done is astonishing. What you've just described is an amazing infrastructure in a relatively short period of time. What you're talking about took us in the United States half a century. You're trying to do that in a matter of five to ten years. You've trained in both Kenya and in the United States. I wonder if you might just take a few moments to compare and contrast those experiences. Dr. Miriam Mutebi: In terms of working in different spaces and sort of working in the US, working in South Africa, working in Kenya, what you realize is perhaps a very different patient profile. Whereas in countries like the US, where you have vibrant screening programs, and you're definitely having a lot more discussions around 4-millimeter, 5-millimeter tumors that you are doing an MRI-guided biopsy for and maybe a lot more screen-detected tumors. Whereas working in settings, especially when you get out of the urban areas, whether it's in Kenya or South Africa, you find that you tend to have a lot more diagnoses of patients coming in with fungating tumors and advanced disease, and so it's really that spectrum. And that's what I'm saying in terms of the current state of flux that we're in. We're now, as clinicians, at least working in Nairobi, you're sort of seeing the entire spectrum and much less and less of the sort of fungating tumors. So I think in terms of the principles, and the good thing is that irrespective of where you are, principles do not change. But I think you sort of have to rapidly innovate and iterate in settings where you may not necessarily have a say, MRI to do an MRI-guided biopsy, but you also sort of look at what makes sense for the patient. Working in lower-resource settings, I think, is actually a good thing because it challenges you to constantly think about value-based care. People talk about value-based care as a concept, but you're doing it on a day-to-day basis, even between different patients in clinic, because you have to think about the cost and you have to think about how do I deliver care that's still of good quality, that's not necessarily going to break the bank. And so these are some of, I think, more challenging or at least questions that we have to think about deliberately. Whereas in the US, if you have insurance, then it's pretty much carte blanche, for want of a better word. Which we did realize, especially with COVID - and I'm sure Pat and Dave you can bear testament to this - these disparities exist globally. And so you'll find that in your patients who have no insurance or are underinsured, they're still coming in with the same, sort of, challenges. I was talking to my colleague at NYU who works at Bellevue. When she was giving me the profile of her patients, it was interesting to see that there wasn't really– and these are patients who don't necessarily have insurance, there really wasn't any difference in the images we are seeing from patient they're seeing and the patients we're seeing. So really it's an opportunity for us to sort of rethink collectively our approach to care and really thinking about how do we provide quality care. Pat Loehrer: I was in Washington this week, and President Biden had a three-day African US summit, and at the end of this, he basically pledged to spend $55 billion in Africa to help relations with them. We also had a discussion about the Moonshot 2.0, in which President Biden wants to end cancer as we know it, with a particular emphasis, I think, and now, in linking with LMICs. Briefly, what would you tell President Biden in terms of what would be very helpful for the United States to help with the cancer problem in sub-Saharan Africa? What would you say in a sentence or two? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: As we say, perhaps have the Moonshot, but stay grounded in the sense that– even before we think about complex molecules, we are still struggling as a continent with the basics of care. And so, investing in health systems and the basics will ultimately give more or improve outcomes rather than sort of focusing on specific molecules. So if we have the basics in place to deliver the basics of care, then that would go a long way toward shifting outcomes. The other bit that does need to happen is, again, with research because there is a paucity of cancer research. We did a recent bibliometric analysis and found that as a continent, we are only contributing to less than 8% of all sort of cancer research globally. And we do know that one, we have, I would say, the breadth of diversity in terms of genetic diversity. We do know that the responses to care and treatments are different. We do know that we do need to think about implementation science and what structures we can put into place, and what strategies. What works in different settings might not necessarily work in ours, and it does need to be backed by evidence. So there are opportunities to expand care and strengthen systems, but really do this in an evidence-based, pragmatic way that ultimately [inaudible] its own outcomes and outputs for the patient. Dave Johnson: Thank you for that, Miriam. Pat Loehrer: Well said. Thank you. Dave Johnson: Great advice. I hope the President is listening. Pat Loehrer: Dr. Mutebi, what was the first book that you remember that you really loved? Dr. Miriam Mutebi: I think it was actually The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was just the whole sort of just stepping into a different world. And then, of course, we all had crushes on Aslan, the lion, but it was more because he was like this sort of guy who would swoop in and was morally just and get to mediate the world. And so I went through the whole series, I just gobbled it down, and I think that's one of the things that really stands out for me as one of the books that I sort of remember early on. Pat Loehrer: It's such a great pleasure today. I'm really excited. We're typically talking about books. And here's a book, Dave, I know that you have not read; it's entitled 101 Things I've Learned in Engineering School. It was an interesting book. As you know, I'm an engineer background, but there were a few quotes in here that I– Dave Johnson: Pat, I live on Purdue Avenue, so I have some engineering background. Pat Loehrer: Oh, that's true. Good for you. So you might like this one, Dave. One of the quotes I have is: "Inventing is a mixing of brains and materials. The more brains you use, the less materials you need." And another one - do you know the difference between accuracy and precision? They're really different things. And so, the best example that came from the book, which I thought was interesting, was pi, so pi is what? Dave Johnson: Round. Pat Loehrer: Okay, this is going to be painful. Pi is 3.14. Right? So that's accurate. But if you say pi is 3.1415926535, that's accurate and precise. And if you said pi is 3.98, that's just inaccurate and imprecise. As I think about engineering as we move forward, I'm thinking about the Lung Pragmatic trial that has just been announced, where we're trying to do trials a lot more simply in which I think we can be accurate, but perhaps not as precise as we always deem to be important. And I think we're really excited about that and that project. Dave Johnson: Well, that's really all the time we have for today. And we really want to thank you, Miriam, for a wonderful interview. And knowing that you're up very late at home makes it all the more special. We also want to thank our listeners to Oncology, Etc.

Millions of Kenyans have cast their votes in the countries 12th General Election, labelled the most competitive election in the history of Kenya. But as Kenya's history has shown - the more fierce the political contest, the higher the risk of election-related violence, often carried out by gangs and militias at the behest of politicians, with the aim of influencing the outcome of an election. In this episode Lindy will explore the role organised criminal gangs play in determining political outcomes.

Climate change - which the United Nations defines as long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns - is a growing global problem, particularly for farmers. A recent UN report found agricultural productivity growth in Africa has decreased by 34 percent since 1961. That's more than any other region in the world. Michael Kaloki takes a road trip around Kenya, speaking to farmers about their struggles to grow crops with the increasingly unpredictable weather. He asks Rachel Bezner Kerr, a professor at the Department of Global Development at Cornell University in the United States why climate change is happening and what the future holds. He visits the organisations that are trying to help farmers adapt to climate change. Dr Ivan Rwomushana, from the non-profit inter-governmental organisation CABI, and Oliver Furechi from the charity Practical Action tell him what strategies and solutions they're teaching farmers.

Rendre la cuisson domestique plus abordable et écologique. C'est le défi que s'est lancée une start-up au Kenya. 75% des foyers cuisinent encore au charbon ou au feu de bois au détriment de leur santé. Pour inverser la tendance, KOKO Networks a mis au point un bioéthanol, fabriqué à base de mélasse, un résidu de la fabrication du sucre. Il s'utilise avec une cuisinière à deux feux, aussi développée par la marque. De notre correspondante à Nairobi, Deux distributeurs bleus trônent à l'entrée de cette petite épicerie d'un quartier périphérique de Nairobi. Ils ressemblent à ceux des banques, mais au lieu de billets, ils dispensent du bioéthanol. « J'ai commencé avec un distributeur pour introduire le concept dans le quartier et les habitants l'ont adopté, explique Robert Kimathi, gérant du magasin. C'est vite devenu ingérable à cause des queues, surtout en fin de journée quand les gens rentrent du travail. Je n'ai pas eu d'autre option que d'en prendre un deuxième. Je pense même en demander un troisième, car le nombre de clients continue d'augmenter. » La start-up est présente à Nairobi, Mombasa et Kisumu. Dans ces trois villes du Kenya, les clients peuvent recharger leur bidon grâce à un réseau de plus de 1 000 distributeurs automatiques. Charity Wanjiru Karanja, une habituée du magasin, est venue remplir son bidon. « Pour commencer, je rentre mon code pin, puis je clique sur acheter du carburant. Voilà, ça commence à couler, on va voir le liquide monter dans le bidon. » Chez elle, Charity ne jure désormais que par la cuisinière KOKO. Cette vendeuse de fruits et légumes ne se voit pas faire marche arrière. Dans sa cuisine, les vieux réchauds prennent la poussière. « J'ai commencé avec celui-là, à la paraffine, mais je devais cuisiner à l'extérieur à cause de l'odeur et de la fumée qui se dégageait. Celui-là, c'est au charbon, il faut aussi cuisiner dehors avec. Et il faut constamment se laver les mains si on l'utilise sans gants et qu'on remet du charbon. Après je suis passée au gaz. Mais ça coûte cher. Une bonbonne c'est 12$. Moi, je vends des oranges, des bananes, je gagne 25 centimes par-ci, 25 centimes par-là. Pour avoir 12$ ça prend du temps. Donc c'est mieux d'utiliser KOKO. » Économique et écologique La cuisinière KOKO coûte 15 dollars. Le bioéthanol, lui, se vend à 75 centimes le litre, mais les clients peuvent se contenter d'acheter pour 25 centimes de combustible. Avoir un produit écologique et accessible, c'était le pari de KOKO Networks. « Nous avons pris en considération les problèmes auxquels font face les populations quand elles cuisinent au charbon et feu de bois, et l'impact que cela a sur leur santé, indique Sophie Odupoy, chargée d'affaires publiques au sein de la start-up. Il y a beaucoup d'émissions de carbone relâchées dans l'air. Les habitants respirent ces émissions et se retrouvent avec des problèmes pulmonaires ». Selon les autorités, 23 000 Kényans sont décédés des suites de pollution domestique en 2020. « Il y a aussi des conséquences sur l'environnement, notamment la déforestation, ajoute Sophie Odupoy. Donc le raisonnement était qu'il doit y avoir une meilleure solution, qui soit propre, abordable et pratique. » Le bioéthanol est aujourd'hui utilisé par plus de 490 000 foyers au Kenya. KOKO networks est implanté à Nairobi, Mombasa et Kisumu, avec un réseau de plus de 1 000 distributeurs automatiques. La start-up ne compte pas s'arrêter là, elle a prévu de s'implanter dans le courant du mois à Nakuru, puis au Rwanda en janvier 2023.

Welcome to this mini-series about Kenya and Masai Mara. This is part 1 On December 31st, I was excited to go to Masai Mara. I went on a 5-hour drive from Nairobi, Kenya, to Masai Mara National Reserve (often referred to just as The Mara). I knew that the game drives would start early in the morning, and I would not be partying too hard for New Year. The two-night/three-day safari trip was partly made possible by Scenery Adventures Ltd, which is owned and operated by Monica Musungu. Scenery Adventures does inbound and outbound travel. They take visitors to Congo, Tanzania, Seychelles, Egypt, and many other places. I got to know Monica when we were in Berlin in March 2020, just as the Corona pandemic was beginning to rear its ugly head. We were both there for a big travel event called ITB, which was canceled days before the event. As we had our tickets ready, we decided to travel anyway and that's how our paths crossed. MEETING THE TRAVEL CAMEL I also met Shane Dallas who I knew from the travel industry, and TBEX, which does conferences for travel content creators around the world. Shane is the conference director of TBEX Europe, Asia, and Africa. As I'm the co-host and producer of the TBEX podcast, Travel Matters, you can say that we're colleagues. Shane has been traveling worldwide for years – calling himself and his travel blog “The Travel Camel”, but when he came to Kenya, he fell in love with the country and his wife, Maureen. He's been living here for a number of years with her and their daughter. He knows a lot about this country, but he's originally from Australia. It has been nine years since he went back to Australia. He is probably getting away from all the poisonous snakes and spiders. However, he misses his family, friends, cricket, and rugby. I asked Shane to give me some insights into what Kenya means to him. “Kenya is complex with more than 40 tribes, and each has its food, customs, and activities. I love it”. That morning, I finally met Dennis, my driver, in Nairobi for the next few days. We got on the van with an open roof which would come in handy when we went on game drives in the park. That way, we could stand up and get a good view of the wildlife for taking photos. We were a group of 7 or 8 – a few from Kenya, and besides me was a guy from San Francisco. Not only was I going on game drives, but I also decided to spend a little extra time by visiting a Maasai Village and then start 2022 by going on a hot air balloon safari over the savannah early in the morning on January 1st. Here are some facts about Kenya FACTS ABOUT KENYA How Big and How Many People At 580,367 square kilometers (224,081 sq mi), Kenya is the world's 48th largest country by area. It is slightly smaller than Ukraine and a bit bigger than Spain. With more than 47.6 million people, Kenya is the 29th most populous country globally. Kenya is the World's Leading Safari Destination Kenya has been recognized by the World Travel Awards as the world's leading safari destination for 2021, a position it has held for seven years now! The country has 50 epic national parks and reserves home to diverse wildlife, including the renowned Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes). Official Languages There are more than 69 different languages spokenKenya, but they only have two official languages, English and Swahili. English is widely spoken in commerce, schooling, and government, and you can totally get by here. The English level on the street is very good – even though they do have a local dialect that can be a bit hard to catch sometimes for a western speaking ear. The Flag The flag is a horizontal tricolor with black, red, and green from the top and thinner white lines. The black stands for the country's people, the green stands for the landscape, the white lines represent peace, and the red in the middle symbolizes war. And then what is most unique of the flag: a Maasai shield and spears in the middle – and it symbolizes the defense of all the things mentioned in the colors. All in all, it's a cool flag. Religion Most Kenyans are Christian (86%), with 54% Protestant and 21% Roman Catholic. Islam is the second-largest religion, with 11% of the population. Famous Proverbs from Kenya They have quite a few sayings, but here are a few of my favorites: ”Because a man has injured your goat, do not go out and kill his bull.” ”Do not slaughter a calf before its mother's eyes.” ”A hyena cannot smell its own stench.” And the last one is a twist of one I've heard many times where I come from … that “a captain should go down with his ship”. But Kenyans have a saying that goes like this: ”A sinking ship doesn't need a captain.” THINGS TO SEE IN TWO PERFECT WEEKS IN KENYA I also asked Monica and Shane about their recommendations on what to see in two perfect weeks here in Kenya. These were some of their recommendations. TURKANA It is Kenya's largest county by land area in the north-western part of the country. It's bordered by the countries of Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north and there is a a 27 km border with Ethiopia just north of the amazingly beautiful Lake Turkana. I've been told that a trip to Turkana County needs guts and a passion for lengthy road trips. It also needs an adventurous heart and gallons of water to live through the harsh, dry climate. Overall, Turkana is an idyllic location and is well worth a visit, according to Monica. SAMBURU Both Monica and Shane recommended Samburu. The Samburu National Reserve is a game reserve famous for an abundance of species of animals such as zebra, ostrich, giraffe, and many more. The reserve is also home to a population of close to 900 elephants. The park is 165 km² in size and is situated 350 kilometers from Nairobi, just on the other side of the majestic Mount Kenya. With peaks of 5,199 meters or 17,057 feet, it's the second-highest in Africa, after Kilimanjaro. AMBOSELI And speaking of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, just south of the border, you find the Amboseli National Park – another one of Kenya's most popular parks. TSAVO Tsavo West National Park is located in the south-eastern part of Kenya and covers an area of 9,065 square kilometers. It's ”sister park”, Tsavo East National Park a little bit north, is one of the oldest and largest parks in Kenya at 13,747 square kilometers. Both parks are between Nairobi and the east coast of Kenya. And there are a few places worth visiting on the east coast – or as Monica calls it “The Big Side”. EAST COAST Mombasa, that's also known as the white and blue city in Kenya. It is the country's oldest town and has about 1.2 million people. It is the second-largest city, after the capital Nairobi. Other places to visit are Diani Beach, Malindi, and Watamu. LAMU Shane agrees that the east coast is wonderful, and he moved there just a few days after our chat with his family after having stayed for years in Karen, Nairobi. But he mentioned a small island even more north just off the coast called Lamu. Old Lamu Town gives you a sense of stepping back in time. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there are many activities to do there, including snorkeling, mangrove tours, visiting the Gedi ruins, beach walks in Shela, show races, donkey rides, etc. KISUMU Kisumu is a port city situated on Lake Victoria. Here there are beautiful lakeside views at Hippo Pint and Dunga Hill Camp. You can also visit the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary to see impalas, zebras, cheetahs, and more wildlife. You can visit the Kakamega Forest National Reserve to hike or see wildlife. Another interesting thing to do is to visit the 44th US president Barack Obama's village in Nyangoma, Kogelo. WESTERN REGION Western Kenya has tea plantations, and forests and is home to the largest lake in the continent. You can visit the Mr. Elgon National Park, Saiwa Swamp National Park, Kakamega Forest reserve and Lake Victoria. You can also see the famous Crying Stone of Ilesi, which is a stone that resembles a person in tears. NAIVASHA Naivasha is a town in Nakuru county, and it is known for its beautiful flamingos and large population of hippos. It is home to over 400 bird species. Lake Crescent, Hells Gate National Park, and Lake Naivasha are must-visit for travelers. NANYUKI Nanyuki is a town in central Kenya is a great gateway to Mt. Kenya and includes several trails. You can visit Mt. Kenya National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and hike the mountain. As you probably see, there's a lot to see and do in Kenya. You can also just reach out to Monica and the team at Scenery Adventures. Tell her I said hi. THE WEATHER Kenya lies on the equator and has a pleasant, tropical climate. The daytime temperatures average between 20° and 28°C (68° and 82°F), but it's warmer on the coast. Kenya is too close to the equator to experience a real winter and summer. But there is both a dry and wet season. The hottest months are December to March, and July to September are perfect for a sunny holiday. ARRIVING TO MASAI MARA We arrived at 2 pm in Narok town and at 4 pm to Masai Mara and Lenchada Tourist Camp – our home for the next two nights. It was raining heavily when it got here and having lunch. At the Mara, you experience the Big Five and many other animals. The Mara is run by the Massai community who you will see from the entrance to the camps. In fact, our camp was guarded by about seven Maasai warriors at night. The Maasai who are pastoralists, do not fear wild animals and they seem to coexist with them. You will often see them with their large herds of cattle looking for grazing grounds within the conservancy. We stayed in a tent and there was a bed and a concrete floor and a bathroom. There was no electricity in the tent, and you would only charge your phone in the evening. The best time to visit is in the peak season is from July to November, during The Great Migration where there are about two million animals. During peak season, you also get a lot more traffic with many more cars. Although this was around new year, I would still get to see some animals. And our evening game drive was no disappointment. Stay tuned for part 2 of this mini-series where we get “attacked” by an angry rhino. My name is Palle Bo and I gotta keep moving. See you.
Velkommen til en miniserie om Kenya og Masai Mara. Dette er del 1. Nytårsaftens morgen 2021 står jeg på gaden i Nairobi og er på vej til en længere køretur til safariparken Masai Mara, fem timers køretue vestpå. Jeg kommer nok ikke til at feste så meget dette år, da turene ud på savannen starter tidligt om morgenen. Det er en tredages tur med to overnatninger inde i parken, som er gjort muligt med hjælp fra Scenery Adventures, som er ejet og bliver drevet af Monica Musungu. Ud over Kenya laver hun ture til lande som Congo, Tanzania, Seychellerne, Egypten og mange andre steder. Jeg lærte hende at kende, da vi begge var i Berlin i marts 2020 lige før Corona pandemien lukkede verden ned. Vi var begge taget dertil for at deltage i en stor rejsemesse, der hedder ITB. Den blev aflyst, men da vi begge havde booket billetterne, valgte vi at tage dertil. Monica fra Kenya og mig fra Danmark. Og så krydsede vores veje i den tyske hovedstad. MØDER EN REJSE KAMEL Jeg møder også min gamle ven, Shane Dallas, som jeg kender fra rejseindustrien og TBEX, der laver konferencer for rejsebloggere rundt omkring i verden. Shane er Conference Director for TBEX Europa, Asien og Afrika. Da jeg er medvært og producer på den officielle TBEX podcast, ”Travel Matters” kan man med lidt god vilje sige, at vi er kollegaer. Jeg har rejst kloden tynd i mange år med sin rejseblog, The Travel Camel, men da han kom her til Kenya, blev han forelsket i landet og i Maureen. De er nu gift, har en datter og har boet i Karen i udkanten af Nairobi i flere år. Han ved derfor en masse om landet. JEG MØDER MIN CHAUFFØR Tilbage på gaden i Nairobi møder jeg Dennis, der skal være min chauffør de næste par dage. Jeg stiger ombord i en minibus med et tag, der kan løftes og give os godt udsyn. Det bliver nyttigt når vi skal på ”game-drive” i parken. Med det løftede tag kan vi stå på og tage gode billeder. Vi er en gruppe på 7-8 personer – de fleste fra Kenya og en fyr fra San Francisco. Ikke alene skal jeg se en masse vilde dyr og natur, jeg har også besluttet mig for at bruge lidt ekstra på at besøge en Masai landsby og så starter jeg 2022 med at flyve varmluftsballon over savannen meget tidligt om morgenen den 1. januar. FAKTA OM KENYA Hvor stor og hvor mange mennesker Kenya er 580.367 km2 stor og er verdens 48. største land. Det er lidt mindre end Ukraine og lidt større end Spanien. Og med 47,6 millioner indbyggere er det den 29. mest befolkede land i verden. Kenya er verdens førende safari destination Kenya har fået World Travel Award for at være verdens førende safari destination hele syv år i træk. De har ikke mindre end 50 fantastiske nationalparker, hvor man finder en masse fantastisk natur og ”The Big Five” (løver, leoparder, elefanter, næsehorn og bøfler). Officielle sprog Der bliver talt hele 69 sprog her i Kenya, men de har kun to officielle sprog: Engelsk og Swahili. Engelsk er det normale at bruge i handel, skoler og regering – og du kan sagtens klare dig med engelsk. Langt de fleste taler engelsk, selvom deres dialekt kan være en smule svær at forstå når det går hurtigt. Flaget Deres flag er stribet med sort, rødt og grønt fra toppen, med tyndere hvide linjer imellem disse. De sorte står for befolkningen, det grønne for naturen, de hvide linjer for fred og den røde farve symboliserer krig. Og så det mest specielle ved flaget: Et masaiskjold og spyd i midten. Dette symboliserer forsvar af alle tingene nævnt i flaget. Alt i alt er det et ret sejt flag. Religion De fleste kenyanere er kristne (86%), hvoraf 54% er protestanter og 21% katolikker. Islam er den næststørste religion med 11% af befolkningen. Berømte ordsprog fra Kenya De har en del specielle ordsprog, men her er et par af mine favoritter. ”Bare fordi en mand har såret din ged, behøver du ikke at slå hans tyr ihjel”. ”Du bør ikke slagte en kalv mens dens mor ser på”. ”En hyæne kan ikke lugte sin egen stank”. Den sidste er en variant af noget, jeg har hørt hele mit liv, nemlig at en kaptajn bør gå ned med sit skib. Kenyanerne siger noget lidt andet: ”Et synkende skib har ikke brug for en kaptajn”. TING AT OPLEVE I TO PERFEKTE UGER I KENYA Jeg beder Monica og Shane om at komme med gode råd om, hvad der er værd at se, hvis man kommer hertil og skal planlægge to perfekte uger. TURKANA Turkana er Kenyas største region i den nordvestlige del af landet. Den grænser op til Uganda mod vest, Sydsudan mod nord og en lille 27 km grænse mod Etiopien lidt nord for den smukke Lake Turkana. Jeg får at vide, at en tur til Turkane kræver lidt hård på brystet og mod på en længere køretur. Husk også at medbringe masser af vand, hvis du begiver dig igennem dette store, tørre område. Men Turkana er et idyllisk sted og ifølge Monica er det helt klart værd at besøge. SAMBURU Både Monica og Shane er enige om at Samburu også skal på listen. Samburu National Reserve er en safaripark, der er berømt for at have masser af dyr som f.eks zebraer, strudser, giraffer mere end 900 elefanter. Parken er 165 km² stor og ligger 350 km fra Nairobi lige på den anden side af det majestætiske bjerg, Mount Kenya. Det er mere end 5 km højt og er det næsthøjeste bjerg i Afrika efter Kilimanjaro. AMBOSELI Og apropos Kilimanjaro lige på den anden side af grænsen til Tanzania, så kan det ses fra Amboseli National Park – en anden af Kenyas mest populære parker. TSAVO Du finder også Tsavo West National Park i den sydøstlige del af Kenya og dækker et område på godt 9.000 km². Dens ”søsterpark”, Tsavo East National Park der ligger lidt nord herfor, er den ældste og største nationalpark i Kenya med næsten 14.000 km². Begge parker er mellem Nairobi og østkysten, hvor der også er ting, der er værd at besøge. ØST KYSTEN Mombasa, der også er kendt som den hvide og blå by i Kenya. Det er landets ældste by og med 1,2 millioner indbyggere er det også den næststørste by efter hovedstaden. Monica nævner desuden Diani Beach, Malindi og Watamu, som steder, der er værd at besøge. LAMU Shane er enig med Monica i at østkysten er skøn (faktisk flyttede han dertil med familien et par dage efter jeg mødte ham i Karen, hvor de har boet i mange år. Men han fremhæver Lamu, en lille ø lidt længere nordpå. Den gamle by på Lamu giver dig en følelse af at træde tilbage i tiden. Det er et UNESCO World Heritage sted, og der er meget at tage sig til på øen – så som snorkling, sejlture, ruiner, strande, rideture på æsler og meget andet. KISUMU Kisumu er en havneby ved Lake Victoria. Der er en smuk udsigt til søen ved Hippo Pint og Dunga Hill Camp. Du kan også besøge Kisumu Impala Sanctuary for at se impalaer, zebraer, geparder og andet dyreliv. Du kan besøge Kakamega Forest National Reserve for vandreture med endnu mere dyreliv. En anden interessant ting at gøre er at besøge den 44. amerikanske præsident Barack Obamas landsby i Nyangoma, Kogelo. Nej, han er ikke født her, men meget af hans familie er. DEN VESTLIGE REGION Det vestlige Kenya har teplantager og skove og er hjemsted for den største sø i Afrika. Du kan besøge Mr. Elgon National Park, Saiwa Swamp National Park, Kakamega Forest Reserve og Lake Victoria. Du kan også se den berømte grædende sten ved Ilesi (”Crying Stone of Ilesi”), som er en sten, der ligner en grædende person. NAIVASHA Naivasha er en by i Nakuru regionen, som er kendt for sine smukke flamingoer, mange flodheste og for at være hjem for mere end 400 fuglearter. Lake Crescent, Hells Gate National Park og Lake Naivasha er også et must-besøg for rejsende. NANYUKI Nanyuki er en by i det centrale Kenya og er en fantastisk indgang til Mt. Kenya med mange naturskønne stier. Du kan besøge Mt. Kenya National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy og vandre på bjerget. Som du sikkert kan fornemme, er der utrolig meget at se og opleve i Kenya. Du kan også bare kontakte Monica og teamet hos Scenery Adventures. Hils fra mig. VEJRET Kenya har et behageligt, tropisk klima. Dagtemperaturerne er i gennemsnit mellem 20° og 28°, og lidt varmere ved kysten. Kenya er for tæt på ækvator til at de oplever en egentlig vinter og sommer. Men der er både en tør og våd sæson. De varmeste måneder er december til marts, og juli til september er perfekte til en solrig ferie. ANKOMMER TIL MASAI MARA Kl. 14 kommer vi til byen Narok og kl. 16 til Masai Mara og Lenchada Tourist Camp, som var vores hjem de næste to nætter. Det regnede kraftigt, da vi ankom, og spiste frokost. På Masai Mara oplever du ”The Big Five” og mange andre dyr. Maraen drives af Massai-samfundet, som er meget synlige i landskabet fra indgangen til lejrene. Faktisk blev vores lejr bevogtet af omkring 7 Masai-krigere om natten. Masaierne frygter ikke vilde dyr, og de ser ud til blot at leve sammen med dem som naboer. Du vil ofte se dem med deres store flokke med køer på udkig efter gode steder med græs. Vi boede i et telt, og der var en seng og et betongulv og et badeværelse. Der var ingen strøm i teltet, og man opladede kun sin telefon om aftenen. Det bedste tidspunkt at besøge er i højsæsonen fra juli til november under The Great Migration, hvor der er omkring 2 millioner dyr. Men selvom dette var omkring nytår, var der stadig mange dyr at se og vores aften-game-drive var bestemt ikke en skuffelse. Følg med i del 2 af denne miniserie fra Kenya, hvor vi bliver "angrebet" af et vredt næsehorn. Du kan også tage med på besøg i The Giraffe Centre i Nairobi og op i den højeste bygning i byen. Mit navn er Palle Bo og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.

When Jane Kubai fled forced marriage at the age of 11, she began working as a maid and found support to go to school. She later took a job as a security guard at a hospital in Kenya — and discovered a passion for surgery. Working day and night, Kubai studied to become a theatre technologist. And she has her eyes fixed firmly on becoming a surgeon. Recently recognised as a health hero by the Women in Global Health network, Kubai has inspired her former security colleagues to also enrol in training courses. “They're not supposed to stay where they started, you're supposed to make a step forward in your life,” she tells reporter Michael Kaloki, as he joins her on a tour of her hospital in Kenya's Nakuru county.
