The work of a full day

Posted Mon, 2011-03-28 10:47 by Conrad

For today, the main focus on our work for Kipevu was all about writing a letter or a composition to be sent to Stratford Hall. They were to be filled with things that students and teachers would like to know about how the Kipevu students live. For these letters, the group talked about including certain themes such as where they get their water, and what they do in their lives besides attending school. The students we focused on teaching today were more in the higher grades, looking more at grades 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Mad event at Aga Khan

Although I haven't heard much from what happened today, but I did hear that it was fantastic, which I am happy for, because that is all that matters. My next event will probably be the dress rehearsal of "Mad Night" in Aga Khan Academy, which is the upcoming music and dance show which I am stoked about. I am expecting much from these kids, especially after seeing quite a few of them rehearse! I am especially especting much from a student singing a very powerful Beyonce song, which I have no clue what it is but I know from memory.

Jambo to all!

Jambo Everybody,

Mombasa has been extremely wonderful so far! I have to say I at least expected to see what I saw, especially the slums and the school. There have been lots of highlights for everybody! One of my favorite highlights was on wednesday. I was brought to a grade 6 class with no teacher! It would seem a bit scary at first, but it was the best thing that's ever happened to me that day!
