AW: Non-Commercial "cultural" cocktail at Nairobi

[Alex Gakuru]

Kenic have been very helpful on the shuttle logistics and since I am
forwarding them the names of confirmed, I'll make sure that they have the
most updated list at their help desks and they should then arrange for a
shuttle.

The mobile phone number I will be using is +254-772-739100. (GSM and I guess
one can buy a SIM card at the venue costs~$1) Guests, just let me know if
you get stranded between meetings and the Museum?
