This Thursday Children of Kibera had a lot to celebrate. Not only was it the grand finale celebration for the enriching LitWorld project, but Children of Kibera received two special guests of the foundation from the U.S.A.
Jennifer Klein and Eluned Schweitzer traveled from D.C. to Nairobi to share their international education expertise at a three day conference attended by the Education Ministries of six African countries. As we all know, Africa's education system has some room for improvement, and providing new skills for administration and school policies can make an enormous change for Kenyan students. In their small allowance of spare time, Jennifer and Eluned made a very welcomed visit to the Red Rose School to learn about Children of Kibera Foundation's involvement in the community. They saw CoKF sponsored student in action and were introduced to Red Rose staff and teachers on their tour of the school.
