Growing Global Citizens

Last week on Tuesday the 18^th and Thursday the 20^th, the LitWorld Girls Club’s sorority were head over heels as they experienced what they had never done before- having a Skype session with their counterparts- Girls Prep in New York. This was made possible by The Red Rose Center, CoKF and LitWorld.

It might seem to be a simple exciting experience but it actually goes beyond that. This was a positive and affirmative step towards growing GLOBAL CITIZENS. The faster the art of information and communication changes the faster the world is becoming a global village.

In past correspondences, members of Girls Club Kibera could only communicate through emails, posted letters and scanned drawings, but this time round they were able to peg faces and personalities to the names, they were able to ‘see’ each other as they interacted, there was a special bond, a robust connection as the two groups worlds apart were visibly excited as they asked and answered the diverse questions they had prepared beforehand.

This kind of sessions fosters better understanding and expunges stereotypes, they encourage mutual respect, they add something extra to humanity, they GROW GLOBAL CITIZENS.

“LitWorld and CoKF together, we can make things happen
for these amazing kids on both sides of the Atlantic.
I wish I had such exposure way back then!!!”
Ken Okoth-Founder CoKF
