Send-Off Dinner

Nearly our entire travel group assembled for the first time this evening (a few folks are still in transit getting to DC). Our group of travelers -- and parents of travelers -- met at the Bernsetin's house in Washington, DC, for a send-off dinner that included great conversation and delicious food.

Here's a picture of Ken speaking to the group, explaining some of the details of the trip:




We leave for Kenya tomorrow (Weds) evening and we'll be meeting at the airport in the afternoon. We'll all be wearing tan t-shirts that say "Children of Kibera" -- the name of the non-profit Ken set up to help the Children of Kibera.

Check out the Children of Kibera website for more details about that organization, and watch this blog for pictures of us all wearing the same t-shirts as we make our way through the DC, Heathrow, and Nairobi airports.

The next post will be our contact information in Kenya. After that, there probably will not be another blog post until we've settled in to our lodging at the Rosa Mystica Guest House in Nairobi.
