Day 12 – Communting to Nairobi and meeting with George

Got up at 05.15 to make myself ready for the 06.00 shuttle bus to Nairobi. Was picked up at the hotel which was very convenient, considering my 30kg box with IT equipment. Turned out that this bus was just the linkbus to Arusha. The luggage was well taken care of (placed on top of the bus).

Mnt. Meru is also an impressive massive, by the way

VISA process at the border went smoothly, and I could wave goodbye to yet another concern…

Arrived Nairobi around 15.00 and took a Taxi to the YMCA.

Was welcomed by George, the program responsible at YMCA and a dedicated (and very competent) climate change soldier. He came straight from the currently ongoing First Universal Session of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial   Environment Forum – Nairobi from 18 to 22 February 2013 (http://www.unep.org/gc/gc27/). There as a youth representative.

George is running  number of Clubs at schools in Nairobi. Was Lucky to follow him to a school nearby. Todays topic: The way the UN organises work related to Climate Change and other related topic. What 14year old would be stay after School to learn more about that in Norway?

Later in the afternoon there was a meeting in the ‘African Youth Initiative on Climate Change – Kenya‘. Many future politicians there!
