Germany with the population of about 80 million people is around 35 times bigger than Macedonia. As you arrive with the plane, you could have a view over the beautiful landscape covered with woodlands, numerous lakes and windmills, combined with great biodiversity. During the walk through the cities (Berlin, Magdeburg) there are still ruins from the old German architecture, but, unfortunatelly, much is destroyed in the world wars. Berlin is famous for its numerous cultural institutions, such as galleries, museums, festivals, nightlife, art and education.

01.12.2014 MY IPPNW JOURNEY

It began with MPW : Medical Peace Work Course
Just a little over a year ago, I did not know what the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) was. I was actually introduced to it by my friend Mary Iwaret who studies at the Nairobi University with whom we had worked with on various occasions on research projects. She wanted me to help recruit medical students from my university, Kenyatta University to take part in medical peace work projects. This was in December 2013. To be honest then I understood very little about her proposal. However, I spread the word and had about 40 students expressing interest in doing the 7 courses long online medical peace work. I think what made most students want to join was the fact that there was a workshop to be held in April 2014 and the certificates that came along with the course. I don’t think we knew how tasking the courses would be until we had enrolled and started doing the course work.
