Stories and experiences of an intern – the last one!
Five months has passed, and my internship is now over. That means it is time to write my last internship blog which, to be honest, is a peculiar feeling. I have spent the last week reflecting my internship and my time here a lot. Thinking about how much I will miss the kids, my colleagues, [...]

Stories and experiences of an intern
After a missed flight and a few other complications, I arrived back from Addis late Monday evening. Apparently, the Kenyan visa procedure has changed and instead of getting a three-month visa at entrance, nowadays you only get one month which you can then extend with two more months at the immigration office.
