Greetings!
Later this afternoon, half of the University of Michigan students will depart to a nearby village for homestays. Groups of two/three will be staying in local bomas for two nights. The second group of UMich students will start their homestays on Sunday. We really don't know what to expect, but everyone seems very excited. Our University of Nairobi colleagues will be staying at River Camp during this time.

We've been hard at work on individual research and group research projects working on sustainability at Mpala. Everyone's individual projects are really unique, and the group reserach is coming along nicely. We should be able to make some great suggestions for Mpala to improve their environmental sustainability model.

In other news, I got pooped on by a white vervet monkey yesterday. Yes, I'm serious. Alyse thinks it's good luck... haha.
