Not many come to visit this continent. I go back to Sligo to see people. I live in an apartment in Nairobi, Kenya, and cycle to work. I listen to traffic and taste pollution on the way. Like any office, we start between 8am and 9am.
These days much of my energy is going towards the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) response to the year-long Sudan conflict. JRS is very active in South Sudan and Chad, dealing with those fleeing.
