Getting ready for the big event the next day - it was supposed to take place Saturday 5th, but was changed at short notice to Friday 4th, so that school children did not have to come back on Saturday. And 2 of our Peace Runners are still to arrive on the 4th!
Grateful to start the Peace Run East Africa from such a peaceful base.
Getting the Peace Run Certificates ready and signed for schools and dignitaries.

Fascinating to watch the bicycles as main means of transport for all kinds of things.
The rising sun on the wall felt very symbolical and a good omen for the start of our East African Peace Run adventure.
