Hi everyone and welcome to my personal blog, which will aim to detail my latest experiences, frustrations, successes, trials and tribulations here in Kenya.

(This is intended to be the more informal partner to the central PULSE blog on which I will be adding occasional more formal posts!) www.gskpulsevolunteer.wordpress.com

For someone who has never 'blogged' before I'm having to learn fast!

So here we are...day one at AMREF HQ in Nairobi: Garret and Dorothy (my fellow PULSE volunteers) all looking a little formal and awkward after a day being introduced around the office to literally EVERYONE. Trying to memorise around 100 names in a day is pretty tough work. Thank goodness I took notes!

It's a challenge trying to understand the organisation, and how all the directorates fit together, but we're gradually completing the jigsaw and working our where our project is going to sit and add value. Our project is shaping up to sound pretty exciting and very challenging so I hope we can deliver on their expectations!
