[Imc-africa] reaching john

[99]

Hi all,
The last email I have from John is 20/1, which included file uploads 
from Douglas and an assurance that Nairobi was "calm" (his quotes) so it 
sounds like people are at least ok and safe.  In the past few days I've 
gotten messages from this list that were dated many days ago, so the 
listserv might be a bit clogged.  I'm not sure how internet access is in 
Nairobi at the moment, or how reliable their email delivery.  If the 
communication holdup continues and you need to get in touch, I can pass 
along cell phone numbers for sending text messages, with their 
permission.  Anna, the email address you list below is the one that I 
have used, and which John has used to reply.  The error message looks 
like the server on his side was having a problem that may or may not be 
solved.  I would try again.

best!
