Always in the middle of it

NOPE, my host organization in Kenya, hosted the National conference on peer education and HIV and AIDS back in June. I stuck around to help them out. One of their distinguished guests was none other than the Vice President of Kenya Arthur Moody Awori . After the days presentations, he was touring the display areas where he was greeted by NOPE director Philip Waweru and 2 YPEER representatives. The conference marked the official launch of the UN sponsored international youth network YPEER. An important day for many of the delegates in attendance at the three day conference. I snapped this shot of the event.


This photo below was just recently sent to me from a friend in Kenya. It was published in the FHI newsletter and forwarded to FHI employees. It was apparantly the best photo they took of the remarkable moment for the birth of their organization in Kenya. As you can see in the forground of the picture, it was also televised. I think you can see me in the background.
