A Different View: East Africa from Two Perspectives

In the 1970s there was a devastating drought in East Africa and the Kenyans needed help recovering. Between 1977 and 1980, Dr. Paul Paetkau, a biologist/ecologist, was an advisor to the Kenyan Green Belt Movement, an environmental non-governmental organization, and the Rural Development Department of the National Christian Council. It was a meaningful experience. He returned in 2010, to spend four months in Africa, during which time he travelled for 43 days by truck from Capetown to Nairobi.

Come hear Paul’s stories and see his photographs of living and working in Kenya and travelling through East Africa. (Images by P. Paetkau)
