Great to know about KM4dev Nairobi. somebody tell me more about this group?

Hi Dorine, welcome to the group. I am based in the UK but had the pleasure to meet up with other KM4Dev members in Nairobi on a visit last October. Davide created this page for the group and the idea is for informal get togethers in Nairobi to build relationships and learn from each other about ongoing KM work in the development sector.  Perhaps you'd like to suggest a date, time and venue you'd like the group to meet up in July?

Kind regards,

Carl

Thanks for the reply Carl, 

July is a good idea to meet up. Lots of updates to share. 

Dear carl and all,

thanks for your response. I would be happy to meet the rest of the group. I am fairly flexible and any date in June will do for me. Perhaps the rest of the members could suggest a date?

Regards,

Dorine

Hi all! I will be away in July (from 1st to 22nd), but I would love to have another meetup with KM4Devers from Nairobi! A weekend afternoon would probably be the best time. For example, in June we could do it on Sun 24 and in July on Sun 29. Let me know if any of these dates works for you, or if you want to meet up another day in July, in which case I'll be happy to catch up with you at the following meetup.

Hi all,

I prefer Saturday over Sunday. Is that possible Davide?

Dorine

Hi all,

I also prefer Saturday to Sunday, if this is okay by all.

Monica.

Hi guys. I have been km4dever over the past couple or so years but have just joined the Nairobi group. I am based in Ugunja, Siaya County and would be looking forward to inetracting more with you guys both online and face to face.
