Velkomne til Kenya-bloggen

Hei!

Vi er fem studentar ved Høgskulen i Volda som går skuleretta samfunnsfag. Dette semesteret tek vi blant anna 15 studiepoeng om Afrika, og i den forbindelse skal vi reise til Kenya. Læraren som skal bli med oss, Odd Ragnar Hunnes, er ein sann Afrika-entusiast. Han har reist til Kenya med studentar i mange år, og han har også vore i mange andre land i Afrika. Vi reiser laurdag den 28. januar, og vi skal etter planen lande på norsk jord igjen den 26. februar. 

Med denne bloggen skal det bli enklare for familie, vener og resten av klassa i Noreg å følgje med på kva vi opplever. De skal få høyre om alt vi gjer, dag for dag, men det kan av og til gå fleire dagar mellom kvar gong vi har tilgjenge på Internett, så ver tolmodig :)
