Welcome to my African Adventures 2012 blog! I'll be using this as a medium to tell my story of a month of travels through South Africa, Mozambique, and Kenya, and to report back on the progress of my applied research (and new findings) for the Eco-village and Community Based Organization projects for the Children and Youth Empowerment Centre in Nyeri, Kenya.
First and foremost, thank you to all the donors who are making my research and these projects possible! And an extra big thanks to Earl and Kay Harbaugh for their generous scholarship award! This blog is for you!
