Lacking towards the end
Hi All, a dodgy update from the warm country down under.
I have now been here for almost eight months, and I am beginning to feel really comfy and integrated. Nairobi is a beautifull city when you know the pulse, and Kenyans are approximately the most wonderfull people in the world. The definately have lots of "challenges" society wise, and the culture as such is very emotional, which can make it a challenge to work in it at times, but as a whole, Kenyans are the warmest, happiest and most caring people in the world (Open to inviations from countries who want to prove me wrong ;)).
Am currently working on finalizing my area, and making sure that all what I have done for AIESEC down here during my year as responsible for people development (aka. human resource + leadership development), survives and goes into caring and competent hands after me. Have been recieving a lot of positive feedback, which I admit flatters me, but also worries me. If you only recieve positive feedback and still knows you could do so much more, and so much better in a number of areas, that must mean that either people are either not noticing, or that they just hold back right? Anyway, hope I have managed to touch the lives of at least a few individuals down here, and that what I have made, have some kind of impact on the lives of the 400 AIESEC members I have been working with and on. By going here I realized a dream, the next step will be to make dreams of similar impact and passion come true for the rest of my life too :)
A few thoughts shared - will upload some fancy photos later...
Smiles,
Kristian
