Less than two weeks from now, on July 1, we will be traveling to Kenya for the adventure of a lifetime. "We" are a group of 17 people -- 13 students and four adults.
Eight students come from DC-area schools (six from The Potomac School, one from Sidwell Friends, one from Georgetown Prep), four come from Cary Academy in North Carolina, and one student comes from Dana Hall in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
The four adults are Ken Okoth, a native of Kibera, Kenya, Steve Goldberg, a history teacher who has been on a similar trip to Ethiopia in 2006 and is helping facilitate this blog (I'm writing this entry), Sarah Coste, a teacher at Potomac, and Mary Howard, a parent of one of the Potomac students traveling to Kenya.
In the coming week, on the trip itself (July 1-20), and when we get back and reflect, members of the group will be writing their thoughts and reflections on this blog.
This is also a place for people to post pre-trip questions and thoughts.
Once we're in Kenya, this blog will include the day-to-day activities and photos (maybe video as well).
Welcome to our blog. The first few posts are from Ken, and they serve as useful background.
