Our colleague Chris successfully completed his cycling tour from Tübingen to Berlin to promote democratic and peaceful elections in Kenya held on 9th Aug. Within the framework of his cycling campaign, he collected more than €500 in donations! The election process was peaceful with sporadic incidents of unrest but no violence was reported anywhere.

This and the fact that it took him only about 25 hours to cover the distance of over 650 km is a great achievement! We are very impressed by our colleague and are proud to have someone like him on our team.
