I am Sunna Kovanen, a third-year undergraduate human geography student from the university of Joensuu, Finland.

I am currently on attachment in Ermis Africa in Nakuru to complete the work experience for my studies on GISEEM project. I started my exploration of East Africa with a student exchange period in Tumaini University in Iringa, Tanzania already last semester. Here in Nakuru I will stay until the beginning of August. I have an interest in development studies and I hope that my work with Ermis is just a beginning on this path.

From now on I will start posting greetings from my activities and especially on progress of GISEEM – project on this blog.  My main task here is to work with GISEEM but as you can read on,  ERMIS has appointed me a few other tasks for the spring, too.
