  1. After reading the questions above and reading earlier about kids running alongside your bus, I can only imagine the emotions that each of you must be feeling. It is hard to tell who will gain the most from this interchange--the students of Kibera or our student ambassadors. It's clearly a win-win for everyone! Mr. G, you are an excellent "blogmaster"...best always...
