Claremorris meets Kitui, Kenya
WELCOME TO SAFARI IN KITUI DISTRICT
Karibu, Welcome to your first safari in the district of Kitui, eastern Kenya. Join with me, Janet Corbin Hinchion, a volunteer with Claremorris Community Radio, who is also a voluntary community development worker and project advisor in the districts of Tulia, Muthale and Kitui.
My Kenyan journey started many years ago when having completed my Leaving Cert I wished to do conservation work in Kenya and then study veterinary science in college. This was not to happen but back in 2008 I had the opportunity to pursue my conservation desire and headed off to Tsavo with an Earthwatch team. Before getting there I had a little stop to visit a Kenyan friend in the district of Kitui and the consequences of that visit brings both you and I on the safari of daily life with the people in eastern Kenya.
Life in the Kitui district is not all doom and gloom. They are a very friendly, happy and jolly Kamba tribe who laugh , dance and sing a lot and a pleasure to be with.They are always so grateful for any assistance and will always say “greet your people for me”.
