About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding life in Nairobi's informal settlements and doing research on how to empower its residents for better access to water.

ABOUT ME

Well... we are all open-minded and easygoing... yaaaaawn!

Instead of writing boring things about myself I actually prefer meeting people in real life which means face to face.. so hasta la vista!

PHILOSOPHY

There is only one time that is important - NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time that we humans have any power to be, live and change things.

'I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt myself in a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.' (from great Leo Tolstoy)
