This past Friday I was able to swap classes with a friend and go back down to grade 2. My Grade 5 & 6s were treated too a much better art lesson than I could have ever done and I was able to share with the grade 2s one of my greatest life journeys.
I had the fortune to travel to Kenya several years ago and teach in a rural school in Pimbinet. The region had no running water, no electricity, but was home to the strongest community of people I've met. The people in the community showed my love, kindness and hope. The teaching in conditions, that at first seemed devastating and bleak, was revealed to be creative, hospitable and caring.
Below is a small video I had made a year ago to commemorate this experience and the 21st century competencies that can exist in even the most extreme places.
