Vision Kenya Trip

The photos below are from our trip to Kenya in partnership with Robyn Emerson's Global Citizenship course.  We're on a mission to create a curriculum for youth worldwide to rise up as visionaries who take full responsibility for humanity's future.  This is a pilot project that we will be duplicating and "viralizing" so that any school, church, company or organization can bring vision to their youth and communities.  For more info, see our blog at www.visionforce.com/blog  

 
Our Days at the Joram Academy

(Please allow time for the photos to load.)

This is the orphanage dormitory where the girls ages 3 - 10 stayed.

These are the classroom buildings.

Above is the cafeteria and to the left is the kitchen where they cooked in large kettles over the open fire.  For lunch most days it was beans and maize.  On occasion there was rice or cabbage as well.

This is the girls dormitory.  The grass and hedges on campus are cut by hand with a metal stick that is sharp at one end. 

Inside the lunchroom.  This is where we held our vision workshops after school.

The girls in Western clothes are the Texas teens who joined us on the trip.  All other students wore the school uniform, and washed their clothes by hand.

Penzi, a Tanzanian, in Nairobi at college shared our guest house and came with us to the school one day.

These are the groundskeepers who faithfully performed the incredibly laborious task of cutting the grass and shrubbery on campus with the tool you see in their hands.

Here, the girls take a stab at it.

This is Mr. Jenga, the headmaster at Joram.
