My name is Mogatle David Mehlape but you can call me David. I am a student of a program to develop and train young energy auditors that is an initiative by [LEDET](http://www.ledet.gov.za/) a South African municipality based in Limpopo province with the help of Yolanda De Lange from [Entf](http://www.aeecenter.org) (Energy Training Foundation). She and her team enrol groups of young men and women to participate in this program that is inclusive of theory and practicals.

I will not speak of the theory much as it was long and all very technical, but I will say it was filled with a group of very educated and qualified people. I was one of the lucky people to be part of an international trainership to Kenya the land of the Maasai people, and this is where my journey started.

I arrived on the 28 of September 2019 at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and was welcomed by Ruth one of the communications people at [Eenovators](http://eenovators.com) the home of energy engineering. She became our tour guide and assisted us to settle in and really helped a lot.

My mentors where Chris Mbori the Managing Director at [Eenovators Limited](http://eenovators.com) and Albert. They helped me and made sure I get the best training to become a top energy auditor. I worked with a group of young engineers that know their stuff and they gave me the most out of my time in Kenya at [Eenovators](http://eenovators.com).

I stayed with a Mzee (old man) his name – David Mbori who made sure I was at work on time safe and well as fed me. I was taken care of with flying colors.

I would like to talk about the work we did, but believe me it’s all very technical and very detailed things. I will however say that I used a lot of logging tools and did a lot of site visiting while doing our energy walk throughs and this made me put theory to practice. This was done in style as I had top PPE (personal protective equipment) at [Eenovators](http://eenovators.com), so we worked safe and neat .I would like to say thanks to the team at [Eenovators](http://eenovators.com) for making my stay in Kenya a happy one.

I will now tell you about my social life in Kenya as after all I was a visitor and I wanted to experience everything about being in Kenya. The food was amazing from the ugali to the mboga I can’t lie, I enjoyed every bit of it.

The transportation was one that I never got used to but I won’t lie it was a good experience from matatu to bodaboda this made it real as I was around real Kenyans that loved their county.  

I had some time to go and see the night life and I’m glad to report that I was happy to see what I saw, and I won’t say anymore for as it goes what happens in the club stays in the club.  

I then went to the main city center and saw the beautiful Masaai market and it was a good experience to see the beautiful paintings and beads made by the men and women of Kenya.

I will end with a big thanks to everyone that reads this and say save energy – switch of the lights.
