Our new-made friends at Dev Link have left us with happy memories and profound experiences. Before we left, we spent a happy weekend with Jerry, who took us on motorbikes to the Tom Mboya Museum on Rusinga Island, where we learned about one of the most prominent politicians to come from the Luo tribe; a man who helped create Kenya's constitution and fought for workers' rights, only to be assassinated by rivals. We toured the island on bikes, visiting the poor fishing communities on the shores of Lake Victoria.
On our last day at Dev Link in Mbita (Tuesday 9 August) we got a chance to see the training being given to the 32 health facilitators we had helped recruit the week before. The training was very lively and interative and to an extremely high standard. Overall we were left with the impression that Dev Link is a very professional and well organised NGO, providing a much needed service of educating the community of Mbita about HIV prevention.
