    “We can do it remotely, in the spirit of Earth.org” 

    Gaita Wamucii is Earth.org Ambassador of Nairobi in Kenya. He talked with Rafael, who coordinates the worldwide network of Earth.org Ambassadors.

    Gaita-WamuciiRafael: Gaita, I have learned that Nairobi means “the place of cool waters”. Is it right? How is life in the capital of Kenya?
    Gaita: Yes that’s right Rafael. The nomadic Maasai people, who moved almost across the entire area across the mid and southern regions of Kenya, in search of pasture and water, used to refer to this region as Enkare Nyirobi, which in the beautiful language of the Maasai means “the place of cool waters”. Life in Nairobi, compared to other East African Cities is relatively fast and very much infused with energy. People don’t smile as much as in rural Kenya but nonetheless there is a general spirit of warmness amongst the city dwellers.

    Rafael: What is the “must do” in Kenya?
    Gaita: Must do in terms of ? If you mean a “must do” in terms of having a true Kenyan Experience, then I would, without hesitation say travel in a Matatu (Public Service Vehicle) and get as far away from the city as you can towards interior rural Kenya.

    Rafael: What has motivated you to apply for the position of an Earth.org Ambassador?
    Gaita: The whole idea is superbly noble and it irresistibly appealed to me especially the goal of having objective/reliable travel information availed by people who know their locations quite well. Personally I would love to access this information, so, why not make it possible for others to do so?

    Rafael: Gaita, you are working for a travel agency in Nairobi? What would be the favorite tour you would suggest me? .
    Gaita: Yes. That’s right Rafael. I´am working with africapoint.com, an online travel agency serving various destinations in Africa- the continent of vast contrasts. Favorite tour? That is a hard one given that various tours have uniquely rewarding experiences. However, if you really press me to suggest one, the Mara migration Safari, that includes a chance to witness the Great annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture crossing into Kenya is simply amazing.

    Rafael: What can we do together to improve the Ambassador Program from your point of view?
    Gaita: The active interaction amongst the Ambassadors is very important to nurture teamwork. If people working everyday together, interacting day in day out require team building, you can imagine what is required for people working remotely. But even this can be done remotely, in the spirit of Earth.org.

    Rafael: What is your wish for Earth.org?
    Gaita: That for all travelers, wherever they may be on this beautiful planet may have Earth.org as the starting and finishing point of each and every travel experience. Most importantly it´s my wish that Earth.org may grow earning the trust of travelers as the home of useful and reliable travel information.

    Rafael: Thanks for joining Earth.org, Gaita! I´m looking forward to our cooperation.

    The Earth.org Ambassadors are based in more than 50 cities all over the world! Want to join and take care of YOUR city?

    And now feel free to contact rafael(at)earth.org or via Skype (rafael.michalczuk)

    We would be happy to hear from you!!

        Hi Teresa! Allready done! I think they will introduce themselves in the next days… You see more and more Ambassadors yourself! Perhaps you can answer my question I´ve allready posted:

        Can Ambassadors (without earth.org email) add profile pictures for the blog? Will this work:

        Create account here http://en.gravatar.com/ and associate image to your email. After some time it will auto pop on the blog.

          hm, yes, that should work! they should enter the same email address — which they use here on the blog — for Gravatar. then the pic will automatically appear!
