1 FOREWORD Hello East Africa!

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile - Earl Nightingale.

We as the Congress Committee believe that the East African Pioneers Congress 2013 will bring about an amazing, and impactful experience to all AIESECers and externals who shall attend the conference.

The CC team has worked hard to ensure that we deliver a comfortable environment and that you all have a lovely time. We are 3 weeks away to the conference and now it is all up to you and the steps you make to ensure you don’t miss out on this Amplifying conference.

Only as a team can we make this a success. We hope to see you at #Pios.

Karibu Kenya!
