Dear all,

I am doing Master degree in Theatre and Media for Development in the UK. Via internet I have been able to linked up with a group of young people in Kibera, Kenya to help them proceed as a community drama group. I will arrive Nairobi on the 5th of February 2005 (yes, 2 more weeks, hurray!) and I will be there for 3-4 months. Apart from theatre work with the group I will also make documentary film on life of Kibera habitants. Before doing this master degree I worked as UN and NGO staff for 3 years in Vietnam.

I am a married female, non religious, 23 year old, very pleasant, good sense of humour, enjoy life and very well-travelled. I am looking for opportunity to home-stay (only me) with a Kenyan family, so that I can enjoy the culture and learn more about Kenyan people. I can pay for my stay as well.

The group I am working with has been trying its best but couldn't find home-stay option for me. I am at the "risk" of spending lonely time in a hostel.. for 4 months!!!
If you know any family who is happy to host a Vietnamese girl who is very easy to go along, please link us together! Or simply spread the words around. Even if I arrive Nairobi and stay in a hostel I will constantly look for home-stay option.

Thank you,

Ly
