Our colleague Anna Kramer is on her first trip to Africa, and just drove from Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa to the southern border with Kenya, near Moyale where she and Coco McCabe are working on a video about climate change. It’s a long trip but a great way to see a beautiful country.

She left us a phone message we can share with you here:

I recommend listening–you can get a sense of Anna’s powers of observation and her enthusiasm.

If we hear more from Anna and Coco we will pass it along as it becomes available…
