[Imc-africa] Brief Info from Nairobi

[andy gunn]

hi john (and fabian and everyone!), thanks for the update.  hopefully we can try
and have another meeting this week that more people can attend.  it would be
great to get as many people from imc kenya and other imc groups around africa to
be on the meeting, so we can all introduce ourselves and try and answer as many
of the remaining questions about the project.

for one thing, can the space in nairobi be confirmed with the first round of
funds from umverteilen, or is that all going towards travel?

just for everyone's information, i will be arriving in nairobi in the evening of
january 8th, and leaving february 5th.  my itinerary is below!

arriving in nairobi:
--------------------
Mon, Jan 8:  BRITISH AIRWAYS, BA  0065
From: 	LONDON HEATHROW, UNITED KINGDOM (LHR) map	Departs: 	10:05am
To: 	NAIROBI KENYATTA, KENYA (NBO) map	Arrives: 	9:20pm

leaving nairobi:
----------------
Mon, Feb 5  BRITISH AIRWAYS, BA  0064
From: 	NAIROBI KENYATTA, KENYA (NBO) map	Departs: 	11:20pm
To: 	LONDON HEATHROW, UNITED KINGDOM (LHR) map	Arrives: 	5:05am

so the schedule with the radio station will need to be adjusted a little bit,
but we should still have quite enough time to build two full stations (funding
and equipment dependent), and have numerous workshops and discussions.
