We are in the midst of the training and I enjoy every moment. Even though it is hard work, getting to know a new group and whole the time having instant challenges.
We are in the savanna just south east of Nairobi and it's an enjoyable surrounding with giraffes, zebras, gazelles and wild beasts.
We are 16 in the group with three facilitators. We are a gender balanced group that come from Kenya, Malawi, Sweden, Norway, Somalia, United Kingdom, Indonesia and the USA. It is a pilot training of becoming good professional MHPSS-trainers (Menthal Health and Psychosocial Services).
We follow all the standards and guide lines of UN and other the leading humanitarian aid organisations of the world. We work very practical with lectures, group work, exercises, role plays and simulations. We work as a tight group giving each other feed back and support in becoming more professional.
We work during long days but we also have a few breaks. Saturday morning many of us went to a couple of markets in Nairobi and it was interesting being part of a busy city life for a couple of hours.
Late this afternoon we went on a hike exploring the nature and we saw some wild beasts. I enjoy every minute of being here and I enjoy being back in Africa, my home continent. I also enjoy being a member of an international group of very skilled and qualified experts ready at any time to respond to large and complex emergencies.
