Oscar,

Grace is from Nyeri and I have been trying to talk to her onto whether she could previsit Nyeri. She can do so, but there are some setbacks:

The Nyeri team cannot undertake the pilot on March. This is because Msa and Kakamega will be using the projectors at that time. Pushing it forward to February is almost impossible as most of the people have either internships or exams. And since schools close on April, that would mean pushing it forward to May -- as a last resort.

Rather than doing "Thika-Nairobi-Murang'a-Kiambu" that you are suggesting, I think it's better to consider Nairobi only. This way we would manage to engage Oliver and Dennis -- who were enquiring why we had removed Nairobi out of the picture. I also remember Google was of the same opinion that we should include Nairobi as well. Not that I support the change of Nyeri to Nairobi, but this is just an idea I had as a last resort.

Cheers
Abbas.

In any of the two suggestions above, wherever someone is available to lead the pilot, I agree with the suggestion

Hey Guys,
Looks like we can not undertake the Pilot in Nyeri.I thus wold like to float an alternative:

that we undertake the pilot n the Thika-Nairobi-Murang'a-Kiambu area.Its close to Nairobi and bet someone on the list is well versed with the area.

the area is in larger Central region and as such wont contradict or budget and plans.

incorporate KU in the Pilot (we owe them,kill 2 stones with 1 bird :) )and a few middle level colleges around(trust me colleges are so eager to have it than High schools)

or explore Davids earlier suggestion of Makueni (Ukamabani) and have someone take the previsit ASAP.
What do you guys think?
