In March, Henry and Adrian spent two weeks in Kenya visiting a number of CHASE's partners. Henry organised a conference for all of our partners - an opportunity to meet together, share knowledge and experience, and learn from one another, and also enjoy the hospitality at Wendo's farm north of Nakuru. The conference was a great success and requests have already been made for another.
Adrian, in Africa for the first time, headed north to meet up with a CHAT mobile clinic visiting the small town of Barsaloi. Adrian was accompanied by Steve Bown, a long time supporter of CHASE. Steve and Adrian are working on a video about CHASE's work. After spending nearly a week in Barsaloi the next stop was the conference and then Adrian spent a few days with FOMAWA, visiting schools and seeing the tree planting work that FOMAWA have been doing.
