Last week I took an impromptu trip to the bush with four coworkers. Msanga is where we have a solar franchise station (batteries are swapped at a station run by an entrepreneur that has part ownership of the equipment and is, therefore, invested in the success of the business).
I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was. Being out in a remote village (it was a three hour drive by car, which was nothing compared to the bus ride to Nairobi) was truly a system reset, reminding me about what we are trying to accomplish, who the population is that we are serving and how far I've come since my days in hyper-developed America and the corporate world.
The highlight of the trip was visiting our coworker's family's farm. Orange orchards, cassava fields, papaya trees and maize. I wish that I could share with you the incredibly fragrant and impossibly delicious oranges that I consumed immediately off of the tree. So peaceful and so majestic. So grateful for this experience.

Almost makes me want to be there. Great pictures!

Almost? Not quite persuasive enough? How about a trip to Norway instead?!
