Welcome to PEAR Innovations

This is my first post of my PEAR Innovations blog.  This is the place to come to hear about my life and work living in Samburu County of Northern Kenya.  Here you will learn a lot about my work with PEAR Innovations which is short for Participatory Education, Awareness and Resource Innovations.  Long name, huh!!?  Well, that is what the development world is like.  In this blog, you may also learn a lot about my life: family, friends, pets, what it is like to survive in Northern Kenya.  This is because work and life in Northern Kenya is all connected.  One can't just work.  One can't just live.  Each minute of every day is a big jumble of doings and happenings that can rarely be categorized one way or the other.  Our work in PEAR Innovations is about life.  About the life of the pastoralist people of Northern Kenya.  About our communities.  Our problems.  Our joys.  Our issues. Our hopes.  Our disppointments.  Our dreams.  So come along with me on a ride over the most rocky and exciting roads in the world and see a bit of life in the bush.  Hope to see you from time to time.  For now, bye.  Will write again soon.
