The Dream Becomes a Reality

It's taken weeks of planning and today is the day! We fly out tonight to take this amazing adventure. Last summer, the idea of this trip seemed out of reach and it is now becoming a reality. Thank you so much to everyone for their support to help make this trip a reality. You can follow our adventure right here on this blog spot as we will be updating with photos and pictures.

Our Journey Begins in 4 Days

There is some serious planning happening here. Time to get serious about this trip! Which tablets are most suitable to meet the needs of rural Kenya? Which supporting resources do we need? How much does it cost to bring extra luggage? What's the currency exchange rate for the Kenya Schilling? What adaptor do we need for our electronics? What content do we load onto the USB drives to share with our future education friends in Kenya? SO many questions!! 

There is a great buzz and energy around lesson planning and packing! Are we theeeere yet???
We hope you will all join us on this Educational Journey (or "Elimu Safari") as we take on the challenges and JOYS of sustainable education. Our heads are spinning -- ok, back to planning!
