Hope Kenya

Dear friends,
 
We want to thank you for your participation in the KC Kenyan Community Development Summit on Saturday, August 15th.  It was an encouragement to see so many with an interest in making a lasting difference in Kenya.  Our intention was to create a forum where individuals, organizations and public officials with an interest in sustainable community development within Kenya could meet for mutual sharing, networking and potential collaboration.  We hope that in some way that happened for you.  We would very much welcome your feedback on the event; what you enjoyed...how we can make it better, etc.
 
Our plans are to do this again in 2010 and have already heard back from the Kenyan Ambassador that they would like to be involved.  An encouraging note came from the Embassy's First Secretary, Mr. Seif who was with us for the event.  His comment was that in four years and hundreds of similar meetings across the US he has never seen the kind of American/Kenyan collaboration that he saw at this gathering and he was greatly encouraged by the emphasis on a holistic/sustainable approach.
 
Thank-you again for your participation in the Summit and most of all for your ongoing work among the people of Kenya.  If we can be of any help, please let us know.
