We've now met the group. There are 16 of us in total, and the whole group has raised more than £50,000 in total. There three people from ZDnet but everyone else is individuals from really different backgrounds, including a GP, and engineer, and a teacher. There are lots of different ages and interests. Everyone seems very nice and nobody has taken it too seriously. The GP, also the tour doctor, is on his 17th charity expedition - that's real commitment.
We are just waiting for our luggage at Nairobi airport and then we are off to open a container that has 240 PCs in it directly from our fundraising. Another 240 PCs are already on a container ship on their way. We then go to meet some of the charity's partners who recondition and then distribute the PCs in to rural Kenya, where we head later today.
Potentially quote of the week from Toby before we had even landed. About 2am local time, the first detailed map of Kenya came up on the in-flight entertainment system. Toby's question: are we cycling the whole way?
More news later as so far communications network in Nairobi is very impressive.
