I really enjoyed my time in Kisii. It was a great opportunity to work with the KIKOP team and meet with members of the community.
My favorite experience was one day when we went to Matongo. We were collecting data for the vital events census and walking through the community. It was so nice to meet new people, and everyone was extremely welcoming. Various people we met were eager to show us new things such as how shuck and prepare corn, break down and eat sugarcane, and grow Kale. I also got the opportunity to pet a calf. This day was particularly memorable because it gave me the opportunity to meet the mothers and children that KIKOP has worked so hard to help. I hope to visit again sometime in the future.
