Hi, Now that the Mombasa pilot is complete and successful.
I could do the previsit now then the pilot would be done later. I have found that these schools will be taking their first term exams from next week then they will have a window period as they wait for their teachers to mark the same,and I probably thought that this would be an opportunity for us to do the pilot rather than wait for second term which is quite far from now. just me thoughts.
regards, Stephen

Hi Steve. Thanks for arising this concern. The last time we talked about the Nyeri it was noted that Wangai Mwangi who was to lead the team could not be available, and at that time we had no one else who was familiar with the place. We then decided to substitute Nyeri with Nairobi region....
It was not decided; rather it was suggested -- that's why it is still left hanging. Anyway, if you (Steve) are available for the pre-visit to Nyeri, well and good. My concern is that while some of us took a week off work or a week off school inorder to go to Kakamega/Mombasa, I am not sure whether people will manage to get another week off for the Nyeri pilot. So I don't think we'll manage to get 6 people for Nyeri at the moment. Most of the Strathmore folks would be free during May. As regards substituting to Nairobi, I have no problem with that. If we get unanimous agreement (and the 6 people as well), I would contact WMF and notify them (and ask their permission?) that the grant would be redirected to the Nairobi pilot, rather than the original plan for Nyeri.
