Hunter - the name of the security officer in Kenya is Mark Warne-Smith; his email address is: [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>
Mark should be able to provide information about security in Kenya but If you/Rob need additional information, I would be happy to reach out to the State Department too.  As you know, there have been a few bombings recently related to the Kenyan military's operations in Somalia.

Rick,
A friend of mine is leading a trip to Kenya- he grew up there- you've met Rob my teaching partner- and he was trying to get some info regarding security there (see below).  What was the name of chief security officer in Kenya- he was such a great guy- i thought i could link him with Rob.

Hey - I hope the wedding this weekend was nice - we saw the announcement in the NY Times. I also hope your Georgetown buddies enjoyed your excellent reunion party without you.

I'm not sure if you can help with this, but I need a favor if possible -- do you know anyone or have access to any sources of detailed and current security/terrorism threat information for East Africa/Kenya? Our foundation is running a service trip to Kenya in a few weeks for 16 teenagers and we're trying to make a go/no-go decision given the recent attacks and threats by al Shabaab.

Right now we're moving ahead, but I would love to have more information beyond what we get in the media. Lots of parents are latching onto media reports that are unreliable or are intentionally sensational for political/propaganda purposes. I need to know the real deal so we can make rational decisions. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks
