Hello Zack, How are you doing?
Here are Johanna and Kathy from Germany. We got your email-adress from Wangui. She told us that you would like to be part of exchange project with political activists from Germany. We two are part of the organization team in Germany. Exept of us there are more in the team: Sara, Hanna, Jannik and Barbara. Firstly: Its great to have you in the team!
Up to now we had contact only to Wangui. So for us its great to have your email-adress in order to communicate directly with you.
We still have some questions: Wangui told us that your the SONU Chairman. Unfortunately we know little about students acitivism in Kenya. So maybe you can describe what SONU is and what your responsibility is?
How did you get to know about the project? And what do you know so far about it?
If you ll take part on the exchange it ll be great that we keep in touch. Is it possible for you to stay in contact via e-mail the next weeks/month (especially as well because of the visa-stuff)?
Wangui told us that your semester holidays are up from 9th of September. What date could you come to Germany? And how long could you stay? (Actually we re planning to do the exchange within two or three weeks)
Up to now we still dont have a concrete plan what the project will look like so for us its very important to know you expectations about the exchange. That means: what do you like to do when in Germany? In which kind of political protests are you interested (students protests, anti-globalization-stuff, squatting action, non-violent street protests, climbing actions)? Do you want to make as well some sightseeing?
What questions do you have? What do you want to know from us?
The coming weekend (7th to 9th of June), we ll have a preparation workshop where we ll meet an organize a lot of things concerning the project. It would be great to get to know you and as well that you get into contact to us. So we thought that maybe, if you have access to a skype account, we could talk to each other then on skype? Do you have time on Saturday (afternoon)?
Hope we dont disturb you with all our questions!
Greetings from Germany, Kathy and Johanna
