Chronicles of development in east africa. Monday, September 3, 2007. Income Poverty vs. Capability Poverty. This topic stems from renowned economist and Nobel Prize-winning Amartya Sen’s Development as Freedom. But is worth mentioning in the context of this blog.

Alan in Kenya: A Brand New Song and Dance
http://alaninkenya.blogspot.com/2007/07/brand-new-song-and-dance.html
Chronicles of development in east africa. Friday, July 20, 2007. A Brand New Song and Dance. Settled within Kenya’s Nyanza Province, the city of Kisumu is home to a majority population of Luo – one of the country’s 42 tribes. Although I’ve only experienced the Luo culture, as my days are numbered I find myself hoping that my stay will be extended. It’s both contagious and addicting. Since that night, I’ve been back to the Flame Leaf Pub four times… maybe I’ve changed. Dude - i'm glad you're alive!

Alan in Kenya: August 2007
http://alaninkenya.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Chronicles of development in east africa. Sunday, August 26, 2007. As previously mentioned, Nairobi’s unfortunate nickname is Nai-robbery—a moniker to represent the high crime rate within the country’s capital. I’ve now been living and working within the city for a few weeks, and have regrettably experienced multiple incidents that have made this nickname quite pragmatic. Veena was visiting this week and we stopped into a coffee house ( Nairobi Java House. Tuesday, August 14, 2007. Have access to limited...

Chronicles of development in east africa. Friday, July 27, 2007. Reflections on Client Interviews. Football, Arsenal, Manchester United,. Etc As the English Premier League is almost globally appreciated, it has enabled me to create a common ground with many clients through a few related words and excited smiles. Although it’s not entirely effective, it’s a topic that has proved to—figuratively and temporarily—conceal both race and culture. Maybe soccer really does explain the world. Photos from the Field.
