Here's where I'll be based -- a town in Western Kenya called Bungoma, population 44,000.
In case you're wondering, it'll take me about 32 hours to get there (including layovers in London and Nairobi). I'll be 7,000 miles from home but only 7 hours ahead of EDT, so will be seeing you on Skype and gchat!
Edit: For those who don't know why the heck I'm going to Kenya -- I'll be working with a nonprofit called One Acre Fund for 3.5 months before starting business school at Kellogg. They are an awesome organization that provides agricultural inputs on credit as well as training and other services to help bring subsistence farmers in Kenya and Rwanda out of poverty. In five years, they've already grown to serve over 30,000 farm families, and aim to serve 100,000 by 2012, and 1,000,000 by 2020. Check them out here: www.oneacrefund.org
