We were contacted through our website lango.app, by Musa Munga, a refugee and the education manager at the community-based organization called Farming and Health Education (FHE). FHI operates inKakuma refugee camp . Kakuma refugee camp is located in the North-western region of Kenya. The camp was established in 1992. Kakuma camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement had a population of 196,666 registered refugees and asylum-seekers at the end of July 2020.
FHE operates multiple projects in the camp including counselling, HIV testing, courses about nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, permaculture courses, and seed distribution to groups.
Musa asked us for help developing English lessons for the refugees in the camp through LANGO and we have happily obliged. The refugees living at Kakuma are from a multitude of language backgrounds and English is the only language they have in common.

FINAL LANGO TPM MAASTRICHT, THE NETHERLANDS
On December 19, 2021, our meeting would take place at the Amrath hotel in Maastricht. Unfortunately, it was not possible to hold the meeting, because due to Covid-19 everything was locked up again in the Netherlands. Therefore, we chose to hold the meeting at our office. The partners who were in the Netherlands could go to the hotel. There was no breakfast or dinner in the restaurant. The hotel guests were told they could use room service or order food and drinks elsewhere and have that in the hotel room. For our lunch we went to Maasmechelen Belgium. There everything was just open. We ate there and discussed Lango. After everyone went home one of the partners tested positive for Covid-19. By this message all the partners had tested positive for Covid-19 and indeed we had all been sick.
