Hey Elpheba???
i was going through this forum and i know its a few months down the road but i am in the same dilemma you were in...i guess it is a good thing because you may be able to help me based on what decision you made and your experience so far.
I am a kenyan as well and i would also like to pursue my aviation in South Africa or the USA preferably SA..i'm tight on cash as well and will definitely need accomodation.
HELP!!!!
