We met Annika and Carina just a few days before our trip to Kenya. At that time, they were expectant, but also a little furious before the trip. Now they have been home for a while and have been reflecting on what they have been through.

They both tell us about difficult terrain and bad roads, with lots of clay and rocks.

- Then people think here people are seduced every day, it is their everyday life. So it's a little difficult, you have to let it land a little, says Carina Eriksson, who made the trip for the second time.

Three motorcycle ambulances in place

The goal of the trip was to get to remote villages and deliver motorized ambulances. The idea is that they should make it easier for pregnant women especially to go to clinics when it is time for childbirth.

- We delivered three wagons in total, to three different villages very far from the cities, says Annika Tholster.

- In one place it took around four hours to get by motorcycle. The road went straight across the savannah into mud, water and sand, with wildlife around. People need to get there with the donkey if they need help.

"This was real"

She describes it as the journey sometimes felt like going through a nature movie.

- We got really close to people and nature. It's a world you can't understand before, it's so far from our own, says Annika Tholster. This was real in some way.

- I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to discover this amazing country, says Carina Eriksson.

Everyday both Annika and Carina work in Ă–rebro, in school and in social services. Annika is also politically active within the Center Party.
