Victor, That will be a great thing although you still need to come to Kenya. I am still in the US until 30th July, maybe you can ship it to my Chicago address, let me know if I should share it with you.
The team can creatively use it in a few of the upcoming projects. We can also get stories on your behalf if we have guidelines. David.
