I hope to travel to visit it at some point - not so far from Nairobi.

I've heard of a vipassana center in Uganda. It would be interested to see a book or article about the progress of the dharma in Africa. Just as Buddhism in the United States is quite different from what one finds in Asia, I would imagine the same is true in Africa as the dharma adapts to existing cultural norms there. There's probably a great deal to be learned from this new encounter... Thanks for the great story. I've heard of a vipassana center in Uganda.
