From urban to rural settings, I will be in the classrooms of primary students, learning from both students and teachers. I will also teach a few lessons alongside fellow education majors.

This is a rare opportunity and I am so glad I get to go! I hope to soak in all I can from the people of Kenya, both in the realm of academia and culturally.

Week one will be spent in Nairobi:

• Visiting the University of Nairobi
• Visiting multiple schools
• Taking a trip to an elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary

Week two will be spent in the village of Wongonyi:

• Visiting the Wonongyi primary school
• Visiting the Tsavo National Park
  

We are in the process of collecting school supplies, soccer balls, and books for the Wongonyi library. New or gently-used items, please. Collections will be taken until Thursday, October 3rd.

Below are a few specific ideas for donations.

I am currently a senior at Western Carolina University and I am interning in a 2nd grade classroom at Junaluska Elementary in Haywood County, NC. I will graduate in May of 2020 with a Bachelor's degree of Elementary Education with a minor in English. I live in Sylva with my elderly dog, Shadow. We enjoy being outside for just about any occasion. :)

If you would like to donate, or simply have questions or comments for me, please send me an email. I would love to hear from you!

I have also attached my blog. Here, I am digging into how I can utilize technology to produce the best education I can for my students.
