Hi, Sara. I am sitting with the SONU Chairman, it is the university of Nairobi with the largest student body in the county, the oldest and the most important. He would like to come for the visit personally, which is great. The university of Nairobi's 3rd year students will be free from September 9th. (Student leaders are usually drawn from the 3rd year, the degree programme is 4 years). We can have two students from UON, and two others from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. Unless it is absolutely necessary, if we can only afford to fund 4, it is probably best to try for only 4. Then I can struggle with the embassy for their visas if we start early. The SONU Chairman's name is: Zack Kinuthia, tel: +254724729566 and his email is: kinzack.kinuthia@gmail.com

You can initiate contact with him, I have briefed him. He was only elected two months ago but he is an interesting young man. He can suggest the other students to involve (there is a forum through which students leaders meet and he would know some of the other student leaders)
In the next week we may be able to initiate contact with HBF and the other sponsors. do you have a concept note for the visit so that our paperwork is in tandem with yours?

and, as I do not check my fb everyday, when you get this message, please send me sms via phone so that I can follow up. Thanks, and cheers.
