Biggest Freedom Through Learning delivery to date...

On Saturday, November 9th, Brian and I visited Thunguma, a small village near Nyeri (Mount Kenya region) with two of our ISK colleagues. One, Peter Mubia, grew up in Thunguma and took us there last year to see a brand new secondary school (the first one ever for this area!) that had just been opened. There were some basic facilities but no resources at all. In the biggest Freedom Through Learning delivery yet, this past Saturday we brought 622 books to the school, enough textbooks for the entire grade 9-12 curriculum! This was very exciting and we had a wonderful day. We were given gifts of loose tea (the most delicious black tea in the world comes from this region), eggs and tomatoes; we were so excited to partner with this school and we look forward to seeing what happens for students there.
