Tofauti on the move again would love to share another experience
from the eyes of thee Naija queen Ashley the Diva as they used to call her. Personally, I learnt a lot
from her(other than her diva swagg and the antenna dance moves) as I always insist Africa is quite diverse.“God don butta my bread” by having her as one of our interns and now my true Oko. Here is what she had to say...
“My experience in Kenya was a beautiful and amazing one;
from the very moment I got down from the plane, the hospitality I got was out
of this world (I bet she must have been referring this to me kkk). Kenya being the
heart of East Africa, I always thought it was overly developed; but then hey!! (ABEG!)It’s
still in Africa, and on getting here and realizing that, I felt more at home(:/).
Kenya as we all know means the “Animal Horn”, and with this
at the back of my mind I knew I was going to see so many animals. This I did
and I’m so happy I got to experience that.
I had a whole list of things I wanted to get done on getting
here like people do when they go to a new city, especially one known for its
safaris. To me, I would say I met all my expectations and even more.
My project was quite a tough one as I was attached to render
services in the Health Sector at the Nairobi Spinal Injury Hospital, as I’m not
a medical practitioner. But on getting there I got a very warm embrace with
doctors, nurses and even my fellow interns treating me like one of theirs that
made working, adapting and even socializing very easy. The Project actually
taught me how to be ‘patient’ while dealing with patients and people in
general.
Honestly, I don’t like Kenyan
food
(com on Ash, wetin de problem) , but then when you are in
Rome you best act Roman, hence I had to adapt and embrace the foods but I loved
ugali, chapatti and of course the tiny beans which Mathew the food engineer was
amazing.
All in all, I would say Kenya was really good to me. I met
and made some really cool friends, the weather was
amazing and I can’t recall having any bad experience. I could write more but I was
told to do just one page.
ASANTE SANA KENYA, MIMI ITABIDI DHAHIRI KUWA NYUMA.
